Hi beekeeper friends,
From the NZ Bee site I read that some beekeepers have experience with
"Insemination and washed semen techniques."
I am specially interested in washed semen and homogenised semen techniques.
Also the saline chemical compounds are very important for washed semen.
Personally I had many problems with wrong saline. It killed the queens and
the semen.
I have read somewhere on the internet that it is possible, and a lot
quicker to wash of the semen from the bulbus. How does this work, probably
with saline and then centrifuge to split the semen  and the saline solution?

Can anyone help me with perhaps articles, descriptions of the techniques?
Please send it directly to me

Thanks.
