I would like to question this statement. Where and on what basis is
this statement founded.
        Our season doesn't start till the 3rd week of May! Does this mean
everything we do after that date is a waste of time. We raise queens
right up to the first week in Sept and they are succesful.
        Sorry, this is way out in left field, an old wives tale with no
basis in modern beekeeping.
