Hi George, >As always, I am BLUNT. > >Who ever said the average supersedure queen is better than the average >swarm >queen has to be some kind of nut. > I am blunt too. Anybody keeping bees should want a supersedure Queen over a swarm Queen, with a supersedure Queen half the workers do not want to leave, and the colony re-queens itself naturally. I guess only beekeepers who really want to keep their own bees would think this way. Give me a supersedure queen any day over a swarm queen. Anyone who would not want a supersedure queen over a swarm queen must be some kind of a nut. . . ..
