You are pretty much in control of grafts? How do you (beef up) your DCA ?
DCA? I don’t raise queens. I buy from others. I think I’ve had my best luck with RWeaverks Buckfast queens. But they were 6 week out on orders and I’ve needed them in a hurry. So, I’ve been picking them up from Gretchen Bee Ranch in Sequin. They buy queens from other breeders.
