Dan grew up with beekeeping around him, earning pocket money by clipping and marking queens. Having spent 15 years working in large companies, he returned to the family beekeeping business in Devon in 2005, and with his father
expanded the business and built a brand new Honey Farm as the centre of their honey production, queen raising, and teaching activities.
The bees can do it, so can you! Aiming to raise perhaps half a dozen queens to use for re-queening or making splits, we look at three very straightforward approaches that require little fiddling or additional equipment: making queenless nucs, the Demaree method, and the Miller method.
