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 😢
@@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?
Love the clip of the cell raisers with the bee cluster hanging off the bottom very nice. Great video awesome work thank you 😊
Thank you for bringing the presenter and sharing the recording!

Hello, Were can we find these slides?
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?
It's usually somewhere between 70 and 80 percent
The cells are way way more stable than she’s saying…for temp and impacts. It’s almost impossible to kill them.
Adaptive queens? Is there such a thing? No.
elaborate? That's kind of an arbitrary response isn't it?
