SUMMARY:Arizona State University - Instrumental Insemination of Queen Bees
DESCRIPTION:What you'll learn:\nThe most important member in a honey bee co
 lony is the queen. A colony needs a good quality queen to be strong and pr
 oductive. In Arizona conditions queens can live up to two years\, however\
 , due to the climate\, she begins to lay fewer fertilized eggs after one y
 ear. Colonies can rear their own replacement queens\, but this may result 
 in a colony becoming Africanized as these colony-reared queens may mate wi
 th feral drones. In this course beekeepers will get hands-on experience le
 arning instrumental insemination techniques. Knowledge of instrumental ins
 emination will equip beekeepers to select the exact queen and drones to es
 tablish a healthier\, productive and more stable colony. Mastery of instru
 mental insemination will also allow a beekeeper to rear quality queens and
  drones from select breeder colonies whenever needed.\n\n 	An introduction
  to the tools and process of instrumental insemination\n 	Understanding th
 e importance of honey bee queens and how to raise them\n 	The importance o
 f drones and how to raise them\n 	How to collect semen from drones\n 	How 
 to inseminate queens\n 	How to evaluate insemination success and the quali
 ty of the inseminated queen\n\n&nbsp\;\nWho this course is designed for:\n
 This class is designed for hobby beekeepers\, experienced beekeepers\, com
 mercial beekeepers\, and bee researchers. A background in beekeeping and q
 ueen rearing is preferred. Virgin queens and drones will provided.\n\n&nbs
