Dear bee-netters, This is the first time I have tried to send something to bee-l so hence a reason if I make a mistake. I am trying to scope the bee world for info on rearing diets for honey bees. I have already talked to Christine Peng about her worker diet. I still need a diet that would work for queens and one for drones. Currently I can get the eggs through hatching in a honeybee-specific medium but am lost after that. I realize that I am taking on a labor-intensive task but student assistance will be available for multiple feedings if necessary. Thanks in advance for your help.
