Queen Rearing is one of the most important aspects of successful beekeeping for both hobby and commercial beekeepers.

Young queens build strong colonies and reduce the risk of swarming so that honey reserves remain in the hive. This is another reason why the trade in queen bees represents an additional source of income for many beekeepers today.

You will find the necessary knowledge about the basics and practical implementation in this book.
