NEW RELEASE!
New
Reprint: Doolittle's Scientific Queen Rearing.
G. M.
Doolittle is often called the Father of Modern Queen
Rearing, having developed the method of transferring young
larvae from worker brood cells to special wax cups he
fashioned from rods from wooden rakes. Having spent over two
decades to develop the methods, reviewing other methods, and
evaluating the results, he finished the book on Christmas,
1888. The book was published by the American Bee Journal in
1889 and reprinted in 1899.
This is a very useful book, and in many ways amazing due to
Doolittle's insight into bee biology and the importance of
quality queens in a beekeeping operation. An absolute must
if you raise queens or plan to, this book is highly
recommended for all beekeepers who are serious about
learning how the beekeeper influences the quality of the
queen and thus the entire hive.
The reprint has 101 pages. It has been reset, images
enhanced, and a Table of Contents added to help find
Doolittle's many discussion threads. The book sells for $23,
plus shipping ($3 in the U.S.).
Wicwas Press also offers Doolittle's book A Year in an
Out-Apiary as a reprint.

Connor: Bee Sex Essentials.
“Every beekeeper should have a copy on his desk or in his
library.”
— Richard Adee
Bee Culture/American Bee Journal
writer Dr. Larry Connor reviews the latest and essential
knowledge of drone and queen production, mating and
genetics. He clearly and concisely shows how the sex life of
bees directly impacts the fate of the colony. In turn, this
affects the success of the beekeeper. He outlines a sample
bee breeding program for a sideline beekeeper with less than
100 colonies who wants to produce queens from survivor,
locally-adapted, hygienic and mite-resistant strains of
bees. Drawing on his experience operating the Starline and
Midnite hybrid programs, he advocates dramatic changes in
the way beekeepers obtain quality queens by utilizing
locally produced late spring and summer queens. The book
adds to the body of knowledge presented in Increase
Essentials.
