It always a great feeling that not everything is lost when people like you come around at scientist level helping out the apiculture community.. keep the great work., this is the first conference I see from you it was very well done 8/10
Thank you. A very interesting presentation. Obviously a extremely skilled and knowledgeable beekeeper. Though way out of my league, I would experiment as a 100 to 150 colony sideliner who lived remotely in the mountains with virgin queens of my own. It was during early and mid swarming season. Collecting them from multiple cells or cutting them off of frames and placing them into California wooden mini cages to hatch from those overpopulated hives. Just a fraction of the level and technique of your ability and numbers it worked for me. As I enjoyed the results of mating and breeding all of them in aggressively split 10 frame double deep parent hives and out of them into four and five frame nucs all from years of developing individual stock in my somewhat insolated area. Thank you very much as I acknowledge the future of beekeeping to those younger and to a new generation of commercial beekeepers here where I live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas of California. 🐝
There is no other industry that I am aware of where the very best minds are willing to share their latest ideas and failures. Great talk

Great talk Cory Stevens! Thank you Manitoba Beekeeper's Association!
Great presentation! Thanks for sharing your expertise Cory!
Mike Palmer already talked about hopelessly queenless since as early as 2010

Am African based beekeeper. I love them presentations.
Great job!
AND they will have a brood break .
You could split hives with an excluder then pull your split at day 7 hopless at time of split !
Great session Cory. Thanks for sharing your learnings.
very informative, thanks
Very good
This was really great I would like to try virgins at some time of my bee keeping season.
I was so disappointed when I could not come and listen in person. Great presentation! Are you able to ship queens into Canada?
Very interesting
Bee gums? Cory ever heard of Skeps? Tuned out at that point.
