Zia Queenbee Co. will be offering an Intro to Queen Rearing Workshop on June 12, 2010 from 8am-5pm at The Seeds of Change Experimental Farm in El Guique, NM (near San Juan Pueblo). This one-day, hands-on workshop will share the artistry of rearing one’s own queens covering introductory concepts and different steps of the process of queenbee rearing. From selection of breeders and establishment of genetic pool to cell-building styles, grafting, mating nuc establishment, drone supports and harvesting of mating queens. An additional introductory queen rearing workshop will be offered in July at ZQB’s home farm in Truchas, NM at 8300 feet in the southern Rockies (this workshop will focus on rearing queens for fall requeening and for overwintering nucs).
