The Introduction of Queen Bees
£17.00
There can be nothing more frustrating than raising good queens and then failing to introduce them successfully. Introducing a queen bee to a hive can be a delicate and complex process .. We think this is the most important book written by that Somerset Master of beekeeping, L.E. Snelgrove. A landmark work that reviews all methods of queen introduction, it offers practical, time-saving techniques and critical insight—an essential manual for the keenest beekeeper and a vital addition to any serious apiarist’s library.
