Contact me if you need one.

I am looking for a floozy. Do you have one of those?

Dear Sung Lee The Bee Charmer,
I would love to try a virgin queen (or two) of yours. 
I made walk away splits on Saturday so one half of the splits will make their own or a virgin would be nice to speed up the process.
Thanks and Please let me know how to proceed.
Bee Well,
Robert Silverstein

How do you use/install your Virgin Queen?

My success rate of mated Queen is terrible with using Virgin Queens ~50%.  Half of the time they either decide to reQueen or worst the Virgin Queen swarms off with half my bees.  I’ve tried caging the Virgin Queen for few days before releasing her but the results seems to be the same.
