Sometimes the Solution is Simpler than You Think

In 1975,1 went to Weaver Apiaries in Navasota, Texas to learn commercial queen rearing and package bee production. At that time, Weaver Apiaries was producing 50,000 queens and 15,000 packages of bees a year. Today, they are producing much more. I started beekeeping in Canton, Ohio when I was 11 years old. But I did not have much experience in queen rearing and no experience in package bee production. So I knew that I needed more practical experience. For that reason, I went to Weaver Apiaries to get it hands on. If you are going to make mistakes, it is better to do it on someone else’s bees instead of your own. It’s a lot cheaper.
