Event Details

Queens are the heart of a honey bee colony, but they often are not living 2-3 years as they once did. This talk explores the impact of shipping temperature on queen sperm viability within queens and subsequent impacts at the colony level on colony growth and survival. Dr. Pettis discusses various factors that can impact queen health and longevity, queen supersedure, and how beekeepers can improve queen survival.
