Queen Rearing Essentials
Queen Rearing Essentials by Lawrence John Connor is a detailed and practical manual that’s a must-have for every beekeeper. Filled with stunning photographs, it covers the essential techniques for raising queen cells and queens. Beekeepers are increasingly developing localized, mite-resistant bee stocks, and Connor’s method using Starter and Finisher Colonies has proven to be highly successful. The book also ties into his other works, Increase Essentials.
Connor has expanded the concept of the queenless builder colony for use by those beekeepers who want to graft more frequently. This book will help you if you only need a few queens a year, or if you want to produce hundreds or thousands. The concepts are basic, the photographs “astounding”, and the book comes “Highly Recommended” by reviewers.
