Amm queens

[Kate Atchley]

Absolutely, I'm afraid that's me on some things . Absolutely no offence meant though Kate ...

And absolutely none taken or given I trust. I do it sometimes too ... there's a place for it!

In beekeeping it's sometimes good to be precise, exact, to take that little bit more trouble to manage/do something in the best way you know how, rather than more quickly, or good enough. Take grafting larvae into queen cups for instance. Graft larvae that look about the right size, but not the right size, and you'll rear dud queens. Graft larvae without any royal jelly beneath them and they probably won't do so well either.
