A high-quality honey bee queen is the be-all and end-all for the survival and productivity of a bee colony. This easy-to-understand practical guide for hobby beekeepers shows in many step-by-step instructions and photos that breeding good queens does not have to be difficult at all.

The author gives an insight into working with the breeding cassette, a plastic honeycomb that saves the complicated process of hand-rearing. He introduces the Nicot, Jenter and Kemp models and explains three simple yet promising methods for producing high-quality queen bees over the years - the basis for sustainable beekeeping.
