Hola! Hi, all!
I'm reading with great interest all discussion and comments of differents
subjetcs. Thank for all who spends time and knowledge in those answers.
I read ( 2-3 years ago) in a french publication (Abeille de France), an
original method to replace old keen and introduce a neuw one ( in cell by
preference or virgin in a keen box?) without finding and killing the old.
The method:
- introduce the new keen (cell) in a back corner of the hive, or
- let the virgin walk slowly in a corner of the entrance...
With this method, we are able to replace the old queen by natural selection.
That is, if the new virgin keen are not considered better than the old,
bees kill her.
But if the young keen is accepted, he kill the older.
Who know something about this easy method?
