Rejuvenation of dams in an apiary can be achieved by purchasing dams from a breeder, the use of swarm queens, or educating them on their own. At least in the initial period of beekeeping, it is advisable to acquire inseminated queens – adding non-seeded ones is difficult and leads to failure.
Another mother is given to the family after the existing mothers have been removed or the queen cells have been removed, when the family did not have a mother. In general, you can point out, that mothers are fed in cages, the hole is covered with honey and sugar dough and placed in the alley between the slices. Sometimes the bees spontaneously replace the queen on the way of the so-called. silent replacement. Silent exchange mothers are well developed, usually of high utility value.
