I hope this video comes through when I am done. Keith is saying that Insemination equiment is not cost prohibitive. Sorry Keith, but 3 grand is a lot of money.

Yes it is. I have an older beekeeping book by him and he was using chemicals at that time.
Sounds like you are having fun

No, they are all mine and you can't have any. ;)

Of course I will share. Remember rules that apply to Florida may not apply to your state.

Give me some time there will be a lot of editing.
