We don’t usually post about beekeeping techniques, but this time it’s so new and exciting, we have to try.
Jim Wood has convinced us to requeen in the late summer. Build up a bunch of fresh, new brood with a queen that hasn’t been exposed to pesticides, and see what happens.
So we are doing it.
Last night we took some frames from the Boy Scout Troop 72 hive, and started the process.
(By the way, that queen is the nicest girl in the world. I am hoping her gene pool survives many generations.)
After numerous phone calls to Jim, I think we’re on track.
We’ll keep progress notes!
More later.
