Beekeeping: Successful queen rearing
Marla Spivak and Gary Reuter of the University of Minnesota Bee Lab will teach a method of rearing queens that works consistently for both hobby and commercial beekeepers.
Topics covered include queen and drone biology, timing of queen rearing in northern climates, stock selection and breeding for hygienic behavior, setting up mating yards, and record keeping.
Everyone will have a chance to try their hand at grafting larvae and raising their own queens. And you will learn how to build your own queen rearing equipment.
