This method I find makes the best queen cells I have ever seen but I really
have not seen the amount of queen cells Commercial breeders have seen in
other locations. Not very many queen breeders up here yet. I do not use this
method in its entirety but use the basic concept of attaching rows of cells
to bars and starting the cells in a starter hive similar to how Jay Smith
does both. In a full depth Nuc (My polynuc with screened bottom used as a
starter hive)
My reply:
Just wanted to say thanks Keith..I am not finished digesting what I am
reading -but wow-what a delightful guy this Jay Smith was. Its fun to read
about somebody having fun doing what they are doing,
Thanks for linking me up.
God Bless
