You are right Allen, this kit is excellent for hobbyists and those with big
fingers and bad eyes.  Many of us are in this catagory.  They are not
intended for large quantity production of queens. However, the queens that
are produce from them are of extremely good quality as they are fed as a
queen from a very early age.
