Hello all,
I am interested in hearing what people think of the following method:
- Make a split to ward off swarming (making sure eggs, honey and brood are present within the split).
- Wait two months
- Recombine
the two colonies.
I understand that a bee keeper called Randy Quinn is promoting this method (1). Like him I am interested in the subject of Gene pool diversity, and cautious of the introduction of homogeneous hybrid stock.
Regards,
John
