Some Alternative Pathways for the Hesitant Queen Rearer by Ben Harden General Recollection there is much in theThere are many fine books on Queen Rearing which assume a high degree of skill. This is not one of them. Ben Harden a leading Irish beekeeper, and as far as we know, the only one from Eire to gain the National Diploma in Beekeeping. He reveals in this text the secrets of rearing queens. He covers grafting, queen cell initiation and the stocking of mini nucs. He also has a section on requeening without finding the old queen. Highly recommended.
