Honeybee Queen Hotels by Barry Bolling

Importance of Raising Your Own Queens and the Use of Queen Hotels
by Barry Bolling
Barry is a hobbyist beekeeper living in Douglas County, Georgia where he maintains about ten colonies (which keep him humble) in his ninth season. Growing up, he watched the GPB beekeeping lessons on Saturday afternoons – always wanting a bee suit, a smoker, and some hives of his own one day.
The Importance of Raising your own Queens and the Use of Queen Hotels, Barry will discuss the importance of raising your own queens by any method. He will then address the use of a queen hotel. This talk will include a discussion of feeding as well as some modifications for a Queen Hotel.
