I'm sure this has been thought of and even tried; does anyone have any experience with inseminating a queen more than once, over the course of 3 or 4 years, to keep the genetics? I know it's not natural, but we humans tend to do unnatural things from time to time.
That would be a good question for the AI queen breeders, not sure if there are any on this forum or not. Here is a link to a fella that does AI, you could ask him. http://www.glenn-apiaries.com/index.html G3
I plan on getting some breeders from him next year. I wanted some from Latshaw, but apparently he's pretty well booked, and the only way I'd get 4 would be if someone cancelled. (*~*)
