    Great little film. Love the commentary and the camera work is surprisingly good for the time.

    There's some nice old footage on the net, even a complete 1935 movie, The Keeper of the Bees.

    Does anyone have a link to an old information film where it shows someone carrying out II in his apiary (in the open air). I saw it once but have never been able to find it again.

    I still have one of those old metal feeders lying in the bee shed. Noticed that the drones used had aleady been partially inverted to speed things up in the petri dish before semen was harvested. II has not changed much since Laidlaw's time and is easy.
