For those of you who rear your own queens.....
Last year I tried using Hopkins method of getting the queen to lay eggs into new comb. It worked pretty well, but am considering using one of the queen rearing systems this year, you know... the ones where you force the queen to lay in plastic cell cups...
I'm just looking for opinions on the best way to rear queens on a small scale. I've committed myself to my local club.... to rear queens for them in the coming year. I've got the basics down pretty good, I'm just wondering what method everyone uses to get the egg/larvae into the cup.
