The ongoing discussion about queen biology and quality is great. It is an
excellent form to share experiences and opinions. I will remind who are
interested to learn about queen rearing and breeding to read " Queen
Rearing and Bee Breeding" by Laidlaw and Page. This is an excellent book
that covers a lots of ground on production of quality queens. In fact, you
don't have to start rearing queens from eggs to produce queens that make
the grade.
