Queen-rearing
Why rear your own queens?
Every year we see many beekeepers panicking about queenless hives. If they had reared queens as a matter of course, this would not be an issue since they would always have a supply close at hand. Rearing queens is also a must for anyone doing their Intermediate or Senior exams. Even if you simply raise your swarm cells with no sophisticated grafting, you will always have plenty of queens.
