    Choosing your breeder queen

    It is a plan You may need to run this over a ten year rolling period to see any selectable traits being locked into the genome. Drone flood your breeding area with boy bees from your best colonies... and hope some one less informed does not introduce bees with terrible traits!!! Good luck Chons da

    Advice needed

    Keep knocking the queen cells down until the girls give up building them.... one of the "importers" I know says he always has to do this with the queens he buys in as breeders.

    It's all very sad

    What are your thoughts on re-wilding the Lhyner Valley with (native) bees? I know of several feral colony sites that I monitor from time to time, and they always seem to be occupied... we must all loose the odd swarm and not all of them can possibly be mopped up by local swarm collector?

    DLW in Apidea... use or bin?
