Queen rearing using the Nicot system has to be one of the easiest methods of producing a reasonable number of queen cells with the minimum amount of hassle. In today's podcast, I discuss a previous method of queen rearing called the Alley method which turned out to be my favourite from last season and then how I use the Nicot system for raising around 15-20 queen cells per batch.The Nicot system was sent to me to try out last year by UK based online beekeeping specialists Bee Equipment. Check out their website, https://bee-equipment.co.uk/collections/queen-rearing-kits/products/queen-cup-system-starter-kitThere are cheaper versions available online but they seem to be poorly made when compared to the original system, I'd always rather opt for kit that's going to work rather than a cheaper version that is going to frustrate me!Check out my Patreon page here; www.patreon.com/norfolkhoney
