There are several different ways to raise queens. I myself use a modification of what's described in Laidlaw's "Contemporary Queen Rearing". The best way to learn is to find a system that seems it will suit your needs and try it! If you decide that it's not for you, try another. There are lots of books on the subject and I think you tube has a couple of videos as well.

Of course, you can always get with your local bee club for some hands on grafting or join us all at Bud's next year. If Allen Buckley doesn't make it for some reason I'll be happy to give you a little demo.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
