Hello to All
The snowdrops are peeping above the ground, so I am reminded of Spring
work in the apiary. I would like 'to raise a small number of queens in
May'. To prepare the cell-building colony, a neighbour has told me to
use either an artificially swarmed colony or a boosted double chamber
stock. What do people of experience see as the advantages and
disadvantages of these methods?
Many thanks for any advice.
