Presentation by David Evans, The Apiarist – ‘Bigger Queens, Better Queens’

Not the usual Queen Rearing, this is how Bees do it! How colonies rear queens; the swarm, supersedure and emergency responses, queen mating and the number of drones the queen mates with, whether workers move eggs, which larvae the colony chooses to rear queens from and the maternal effect contributed by the queen. And, of course, why this is important.

All members welcome
