In this area we use

"When You Requeen, Get the Best"  or "When You Requeen, Get Better" to
remember the code.

I have a number of Reds still going and possibly a yellow or two.  A large
number of Reds and a few Yellows were wondering between thumbs and hive
tools around the end of May and the beginning of June. The Workers
Compensation Board is investigating these job related accidents.

We have excellent success with the JZBZ  cage.  Our expericence is the Queen
has more protection with this cage than the old wooden three holer.  The
point is, if you are requeening properly she shouldn't need it. We attribute
much of the success of acceptance to the scent in the plastic.  The

Marshmellows work well and can give you your sugar buzz if you moved hives
over breakfast.  If we want a longer release we use the honey icing sugar
mix.  These are the only two that we have found which will consistantly
release queens no matter how large or more importantly small the colony.
