Hawaii is a major producer of queen bees for both the U.S. and Canada due to it’s tropical climate enabling year-round queens production. Hawaii’s terrain and geographical isolation can also be ideal for breeding queens that carry specific genes. For many years, PAm's Executive Director Danielle Downey has been working in Hilo, HI working on just such a breeding project. Follow along with Danielle explaining the process of installing newly inseminated queens.
