Hi y'all, I've been keeping bees for 4 yrs down here. I currently have 2 hives of Russians, 1 of Purdue Survivor Stock, and 1 walkaway split I made this year. Made my own extractor this year and only have 1 batcfh of cappings to process and 1 bucket of honey left to bottle and I'll be ready to get started for next year. My goal is to learn how to raise my own queens and make several new hive. I look forward to learning a lot on here. Glad to make all your friendship. John

Welcome sir!  One place to study queen rearing is  mdasplitter.com  The methold works.  It would work better if my eyes were better but is far easier than grafting.  Between arthritic fingers and older eyes, I can't think about doing that.

American blood spilled to protect the freedom and peace of people all over the world.  320,000 USA casualties in WWI, 1,076,000 USA casualties in WWII, 128,000 USA casualties in the Korean War, 211,000 casualties in the Vietnam "conflict", 57,000 USA casualties in "War on Terror".  Benghazi, Libya, 13 USA casualties. These figures don't include 70,000 MIA.  But, the leaders of one political party of the United States of America continue to make the statement..."What difference does it make?".

"We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism."..."The press is our chief ideological weapon." - Nikita Khrushchev

Thanks for making me (and all new beeks) feel so welcome. I'm not yet sure what method of queen raising I'll use or my own combination but if God is willing and I get all my box's built this winter I'll at least be trying and learning. Thanks again, John
