This conversation comes at a good time for me.  I wonder whether we might
expand the scope a little bit:

I like to pick something in particular to learn about each year in my
beekeeping.  This next year I want to try my hand at queen rearing, which at
this point I know practically nothing about.

I have one book (not yet read) and another has been ordered, but I would
love to hear from the collective wisdom of BEE-L about methods that are well
suited to a hobbyist with no experience hoping to produce just a small
number of queens.  It need not be the system I should use forever, just one
that could be a successful starting point.

What do you all recommend?

Frank.
