Hello All

I was told by a beekeeper here in Gormanston at the Beekeeping School that
he has cracked the problem with queen finding.

When he finds queen cells in his hives, he brings them home and places them
in the deep freeze. Then when he wishes to find a queen he inserts a thawed
out queen cell into the hive, marks the frame on which the cell is placed,
and half an hour later he finds the queen on that frame having been lured
there by the queen cell. He swears that it is not a leg pull and says he
does it all the time.

What sayest the List?

Sincerely

Tom Barrett
