Norfolk Honey - queen rearing for amateurs
Increase your stock of bees.
Online course:
Swarm control, hive splitting and queen rearing for amateurs.
Norfolk Honey offer easy instructions for new bee keepers to follow.
Our double
box
method
of
artificial
swarming will enable you to prevent your bees from swarming and enable you to
breed
new
queens
in the easiest and safest way possible.
Breeding new queens can easily be done very successfully using very
little more equipment than you already have. Even a beginner can easily understand
the basic concepts and get started as soon as they have bees
in their hive.
But you don't need to be a beginner to take this course.
Beekeepers who have been keeping hives for a few years may
also be interested in
improving
their
bee stocks by selecting and breeding from their best bees. Do you have mite
removing bees in your hives? There may even be beekeepers out there who would
like to expand a little more and
help
to
supply
the ever increasing demand for queens sent by post.
Here we not only explain our simple system but we also study the variety of
concepts behind rearing your own queens. This will enable you to choose a method
that suits you and your situation
best.
Once started you can call
me
for
support
and advice
in your
beekeeping and and call me again at vital stages during the queen rearing
process.
