Beskrivelse
Breeders and producers of queens need a handbook which describes the background of their work. It can only be done if ou know the techniques of rearing queens and judging the results. You must know the genetics of the bees, too, because it enables you to plan the maintenance and improvements of your stock. The aim of this book is to help the practical people who rear queens. The author has written books and articles of beekeeping since 1983, see www.eigilholm.dk.Content of Queen Breeding and Bee Geneticspreface51. production of queens6The basis of queen production6Methods of queen rearing7Grafting8The calendar8The cell builder9The breeder colony10Grafting tools10Grafting procedure11Transfer to the cell builder12Incubation12How to obtain young bees14Marking of queens14Transport cage and candy16Shipping172. mating nucs18How to use the nuc19Continous management of a nuc21Clearing after the mating season213. alternative metods221.
