What is the way  breeding queens Brooks

I'm going to ask Michael Bush to expand on the subject of the Joseph M. Brooks method here on the forum.

In the mean time - http://www.bushfarms.com/beesqueenrearingmethods.htm (http://www.bushfarms.com/beesqueenrearingmethods.htm)

This is the Brooks method in the words of Isaac Hopkins:

and virtually identical to the Better Queens method by Smith:
