The Transplanting of Honey Bee Eggs
|
The idea of using plant pot rims was
suggested by Arthur Johnson.
The technique of using such rims was developed by Albert Knight and Arthur Johnson for postal transmission of breeding material. I have merely expanded upon it to include a method of "transplanting" desirable drones into colonies that might otherwise have produced poorer quality drones. |

The method uses rim sections cut from inexpensive 3" plastic flower pots. Two different types of flowerpot are used so that the rim from one will sit neatly inside the rim of the other type.
