[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 13296, member: 13"] Some of mine are running normal hives and doing OK. But they were inseminated with 8 microliters of semen which is kind of industry standard. The reading I have done is that less amounts can be used if the queen is going to be kept in a mini nuc where it won't lay many eggs, or used for a short time to produce offspring then disposed of. Just wanted Breeder Of Queens Koss's thoughts on it as he seems to know about it. I would like all mine to be able to head a production hive as that is the only way you really know how the whole hive will do. Plus, I want to get drones from some of mine and to do that they have to be in a hive big enough to make the drones. [/QUOTE]
