That scientific accuracy, as opposed to rule of thumb, or guess-work methods, is much needed in commercial honey production to attain the success we should aim for, will be acceded by all intelligent beekeepers. There are many, however who do not realise this, or at all events, do not sufficiently appreciate the principle in their practice, but are content to muddle along in a slipshod fashion to their great loss.
Some form of artificial queen-rearing is practised by almost all beekeepers and a few re-queen with queens received by mail, and in this may lie the need of many to replace their queens so frequently. I believe this is the reason so many find frequent re-queening necessary, and that better queen-rearing should be advocated instead of frequent re-queening.
