[QUOTE="tommy dave, post: 3287, member: 25"] In Dunedin [USER=19]@tudorcd[/USER] arranged access to queen cells from (I'm hesitant to get this wrong, a queen breeder anyway) someone and the resulting queens were wonderful. From those first splits, I ended up going with walkaway splits and letting the bees sort the new queen's out themselves. Starting from very good stock though. Small sample size, but in the right area getting cells can produce great results at a price an order of magnitude lower than the price of a decent queen [/QUOTE]
