Early on, one of our U.S. bee breeders had breakfast with me, wanted to try  
liquid nitrogen.  Marla told him - not something a beekeeper could  do.
 
He decided to push ahead anyway, and came up with a novel approach.   He 
talked to a veterinarian who had a Dewar of liquid nitrogen and vials of bull  
semen.  He offered to loan this to the beekeeper, and the beekeeper took  him up 
on it.
 
Worked fine, however, the beekeeper worried right up to handing  back the 
Dewar.  The loaned canister still had semen in it - afraid he'd  dump it over, 
lose the precious semen. 
 
Once he figured out that he could do it, he got his own Dewar, went to  the 
same supplier of liquid nitrogen as the veterinarian.
