All About the Queen!

This will be our first in-person meeting of the year. Don’t miss it!

Pretty much the only thing beginning beekeepers are taught is that there is only one queen in the
colony, and it turns out, not even that is true! Why does a queen lay eggs in supersedure cells when it
means her death? Why do queens sometimes ignore queen cups and what triggers them to lay eggs in
cups later? Why do bees still start queen cells when there is a caged queen in the hive? Why do they kill
your brand-new, expensive queen even when they are hopelessly queenless, and how can we improve
queen acceptance? All of these questions can be answered by understanding All About the Queen. Can’t
wait to see you all!
