This book serves as a practical guide for beekeepers, outlining the methods and techniques necessary for rearing high-quality queen bees. Alley draws upon nearly fifty years of experience in the field, making this a valuable resource for both novice and experienced apiarists. In this comprehensive guide, Alley meticulously details various queen-rearing techniques, such as forming nuclei, preparing colonies, and managing queen cells. The book elaborates on the principles of selecting breeding queens, ensuring strong and fertile progeny, and avoiding the pitfalls of using inferior stock.
