I heard somewhere that some people injure a queen to cause supersedure as opposed to just killing her. Anyone have experience with this method of "requeening".
Yes Ray I read this too I think one of the mags had an artical back about 10 or 12 years ago about how that beofre mail order queens the keeper would cut a back leg off so the hive would replace her.This was done back in 1800's before grafting was so standardly used.
Thanks for being brave enough to put this idea out for discussion. There is of course an element of horror that will have an influence on weighing the pros and cons.I heard somewhere that some people injure a queen to cause supersedure as opposed to just killing her.
