I was considering the book OTS Queen Rearing -- does anyone have experience with this book? Looks to be about 100 pages and sells for about $50 -- which seems kind of expensive.
I would pay it if it is considered good information.
Hoping for a book review from those who have read it.
Where did you see that book located? Is it written by Mel, himself? I thought that Mel's technique was pretty well documented online as garusher mentioned.
I have it and really like it, you guys are right a lot of his technics are on his web-site but he has changed some and added more info.
anyway I would recommend it
I have purchased it and think it is good information. I have raised 5 queens so far this year using his method. Easy and works great. I intend to double that next year.
There is some (not much) new information but I like to hold a book in my hands and have the pertinent parts underlined and handy to access. The pictures in the book help a lot and are a visual method of learning that I don't get from the videos. Also, I had a question and emailed Mel and received a prompt and complete response to my question.
If I were a book reviewer by trade, I would give this 5 of 5 stars and will continue to use this method.
