QUEEN MOST IMPORTANT IN BEEKEEPING
What do you consider the most important thing in all beekeeping, if you can consider one thing more important than others?
A thorough knowledge of everything connected with the business. Perhaps you want to know which is the most important, the bees, pasturage, hive, or some other thing. Hard to say, bees are no good without pasturage, and pasturage is no good without bees. You can’t very well get along without a hive. But if we were to pick out some one thing to which the beekeeper must give the greatest attention, we would say the queen. For whatever the queen is, that decides what the bees are. By breeding for the best all the time, a man is more likely to get ahead than by giving his attention to something else, such as hives or pasturage.
