Hi Clay & All,

No, it's a rare, some what hard to find 1949, copy of a book Jay Smith wrote
in the first person about what he concluded was a superior method of rearing
"Better Queens". A copy in good condition will likely cost a person $90.00.
Even though I do not use his method of rearing queens I do use his
principals. This method he used did not utilize grafting but was the method
he finally used later in his life. The principals he describes are
principals all beekeepers can easily use in the field even hobbyist, without
the use of specialized gear.
