Expert queen breeder Cory Stevens sits down with Chari Elam

Queen breeding expert Cory Stevens (www.stevensbeeco.com) has more than mastered instrumental queen insemination--he has turned it into a technical, perfected art! Focusing on VSH stock, Cory describes the process of “UBeeO,” a new tool used to accurately predict a colony’s ability to self-manage mites and disease through hygienic behavior (opterabees.org). Cory goes on to talk about the importance of nutrition and the responsibility we have as beekeepers to aid in nature’s shortfall. Listen as this fascinating corner of beekeeping comes alive in Cory’s enthusiasm!

Thank you Chari for interviewing Cory, never get tired of hearing him talk about bees. Always pick up bits of knowledge listening to him and hope you do do a part 2.
