>>Put a queen cell in a HONEY frame in the fall. The theory is that the
existing queen will not find the cell, the cell queen will emerge and mate
and the 'old' queen will disappear.
I am told that this practice is widely followed in the southern states (by
migratory beekeepers who are requeening) and is based on work done by a
Canadian scientist, who claimed success of over 90%. If anyone can tell us
of an accessible source for this work I would appreciate it.
Basically a beekeeper inishiated superceedure. Is that all there is to a
sucessfull superceedure?
I would be interested in reading this studdy, if anyone outthere could tell
me where to look.
Thanks
Ian
