WCB Zoom

Virtual WCB meeting! We’ll vote in club officers, then Hannah Whitehead, Honey Bee Extension Educator at UMass Extension, will talk to us about the results of a research study that focused on three different queen rearing methods.

Roads to Royalty: Comparing Three Methods of Queen Production
Hannah Whitehead (UMass Extension) will share results from a recent research project, which compared the quality of queens produced through three queen rearing methods (a traditional 10-day grafting method, an abbreviated 48-hour grafting method, and walk-away splits). This research was carried out in collaboration with two local queen breeders, and was funded by a Northeast SARE Partnership Grant.
