To get your drones right takes 2 years.
If you don't have a load of good queens, this is one system:
1. start with a pure race queen and graft as many daughters as possible.
Don't worry about what they mate with as these are going to be your drone producers for the following season.
2. Requeen as many colonies in your area as possible.
3. Next season, get another pure race queen (not closely related to the previous one) and graft as many as possible.
These daughters will now be mating with pure race drones from the previous season queen's daughters.
You can takes things from there, requeening the most obviously hybridised colonies.
