> Laying workers will never accept a new queen
 
two weeks ago I was dreaming (and sent a message to BEE-L) of the
following
(perhaps the message don't came though, because a error in the
translation program, WORDSWITCH, it puts an unvisible sign behind a
cut/past word, and the sending of it to the net stops at that
point.)(You don't recieve your own message, so you can't control)
 
But here are my dreamings (some of them);-)
In canada they expirement with artificial Queen feromoon
See BEEWOLD Vol.74 nr.3  1993. page 111
by Mark L Winston and Keith N Slessor.
 
Will it be possible to set a fuse (match??) with it to the queenless
hive?
Will the artificial feromoon oppress the developed ovaria of the worker
bees?
 
This must be a simpel test for those who have access to the feromoon
 
and it will be a great help for beekeepers!!!
 
so researchers, there is some work to do!!!!!!
