Is it true??? If a man is alone in the woods, and a lady isn't there to hear him and he speaks, is he still wrong?

Re: Beekeeping test
If you need to read books, I think I'd better skip the test. Could be discouraging. Originally Posted by sqkcrk

Re: Beekeeping test
OK, I took the darned test. Got 35 out of 50. Not too shabby. One I know I missed by mouse error, got the wrong spot to click. I was totally guessing on how long from egg to mature queen, mature drone. Is it 16 days for a queen?
Count all the bees in the hive....

Re: Beekeeping test
Queen = 16 days
Worker = 21 days
Drone = 24 days
Depends on your meaning of mature though. These figures I have mentioned are to emergence."More important than talent, strength or knowledge is the ability to laugh at yourself and enjoy the pursuit of your dreams"

Re: Beekeeping test

Keep taking it. The questions change each time and you will get better as you go along.

You scored 36/50 correctly.
Ranking: You are a formidable beekeeper.
Not too bad since I just installed my first ever package April 15th...
But I have done A LOT of reading!

Good job. Be sure to take it a few times. Each time gives you a different set of questions.
