James I found that very interesting.
If your bees aren't mating then there really must be very few beekeepers in
your area...I've never heard of that being a constraint before.
Is there a threshold for the minimum number of hives required to produce
queens, that I'm not aware of? Shouldn't your queens still be able to
in-breed with the drones from your colonies?
