Topic

Why are Queens Failing?

Description

Are your queens not living as long as in the past? Do your colonies fail to re-queen themselves after a swarm leaves or when you expect a queenless nuc to rear a new queen? Queen problems are on the increase and Jeff will cover some basic queen and colony biology and discuss some of the many things that could be involved in why queens fail. Kindly sponsored by E H Thorne Ltd.
