"Making High Quality Queens with 10 & 2 day cells, and Splits!" with Ang Roell

In this presentation Ang Roell will cover sustainable queen rearing practices born out of their efforts studying the quality of grafted, emergency, and 48-hour queen cells. You will learn if simpler methods can produce equitable results with more technical and difficult methods.

That's is a really interesting presentation. Lots of ideas for us serious "hobby" beekeepers. I haven't had to buy package bees anymore, but I keep buying queens to make healthy quick splits.

I went to their website expecting to see more details about their studies and I figured they'd have those charts they presented available etc but unfortunately there was not 😢

Hello, Were can we find these slides?

[@TheBaconWizard]

Newbee here. So even for an experienced keeper who specializes in raising queens, only ~67% of queen cells make it to become a fully mated queen?

[@kvadrad1]

It's usually somewhere between 70 and 80 percent

[@michaellavazza960]

The cells are way way more stable than she’s saying…for temp and impacts. It’s almost impossible to kill them.

[@MinnesotaBeekeeper]

Adaptive queens? Is there such a thing? No.

[@sbgmimedia]

elaborate? That's kind of an arbitrary response isn't it?

@@sbgmimedia I had the same thought. 7 year beekeeper here. Never heard the term Adaptive Queen. Could you provide more details as to what makes a Queen - Adaptive?
