Moebees, I am moving the ball forwrd by bringing these queens’ genetics into the area. I do not raise queens, and I do not allow my hives to generate their own queens. I replace them with new queens that I buy from breeders. What I do with these queens will have no impact on the breeding of bees in general.
If these bees have faulty genetics, or are spot on will not make a difference. The hive won’t die before she has created drones and sent them out into the world. If she is not a true treatment free queen, and I don’t treat, it will be a 8 months to year to find out.
If she is not a true treatment free queen, and I treat, she will be replaced in a year. Not much difference.
If She doesn’t require treatment, my treating her will not affect her genetics, and her stronger genes will be launched into the world.
Now, back to my question, which I hope will help me decide how to care for my bees: Does anyone have experience with BeeWeaver bees? Please tell me how they did?
This include you, moebees. You are familiar with Dan’s work. What have you seen? What have you heard?
Please respect my attempt to be informed, and set aside any need to challenge a decision that I have not yet made.
