For a beekeeper, raising your own queen honey bees is a game-changer. The queen honey bee is the heart and soul of the bee hive, and without a young, productive queen, everything, including a colony's future is at stake.Local queen rearing holds tremendous potential for the beekeeper, on any scale, to take control of their genetics and reshape the destiny of their apiaries.It's never been easier, even for the backyard beekeeper, to raise their own, locally-adapted queens from their best hives. The biggest obstacle has always been learning how to graft larvae. With the NICOT non-grafting queen-rearing unit, that excuse has been eliminated."NICOT Queen Rearing" details another aspect of pastor and beekeeper, Grant F. C. Gillard, and his successful beekeeping operation in West Central Missouri, outside of Kansas City. This book takes the reader, step-by-step, through the process of raising queens without learning the necessity of grafting larvae.Grant raises queens originating from feral swarms caught in pheromone-baited traps, choosing the best strains of bees that excel under his management (for better, and for worse) and thrive in the early-season nectar flows of Western Missouri.Preferring to avoid chemical treatments, Grant selects his potential queens from survivor stock and open-mated queens. Grant's management includes practicing sustainable beekeeping methods which, in his opinion, begins with raising locally-adapted queens.

Beekeeping is a journey of many roads. This is a manuscript for beekeepers wishing to learn how to raise their own, local queens...but just cannot bring themselves to figure out how to graft. The NICOT queen rearing system explains how the average beekeeper implements its unique design and overcomes the distinctive hurdles to raising local queens without grafting. The Nicot system is not the only non-grafting approach, but it works. This manuscript shares the journey of one beekeeper who taught himself how to raise his own queen honey bees.Grant F. C. Gillard, a small-scale commercial beekeeper since 1981, shares his insights and philosophies, his field-tested ideas and sustainable methods on how to hang tough, to persevere in the face of adversity, to run and not grow weary, to walk and not faint. Grant often tells people, “The Nicot kit is not the perfect method to raise queens; but neither is it the only way. It is what it is, but it becomes what we make it. It holds tremendous potential for the average beekeeper to take control of their genetics and shape, even reshape the destiny of their apiaries.”In essence, that is Grant's purpose for raising his own queens, particularly in an era of “natural” beekeeping, managing our colonies with reduced and minimalistic treatments, and breeding our own locally-adapted queens from survivor stock. Grant wanted better queens than he was buying from the large, commercial queen producers in the south. He felt the Nicot system created the best opportunities, and lowered the bar for those beekeepers who didn't know how to graft.Grant adds, “My journey raising my own queens covers a number of seasons, more than I can count at this point. I readily admit I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box but I've learned to keep on coloring, even if most of my work can't stay within the lines.” There's an old bit of advice that suggests real education is learning from our mistakes. Yet the best, most efficient education learns from the mistakes of others, and more so, it doesn't take near as long and it's generally not quite as expensive. Grant readily admits he's made many mistakes, especially in queen rearing.Grant hopes to accelerate your success so you don't have to make the same mistakes he made and stumble over the same obstacles he incurred.Again, Grant adds, “I unswervingly believe the queen to be the heart and soul of the colony, and without a young, productive queen, everything, including a colony's health and future, is at stake, as I mentioned in the preface.” When a honey bee colony struggles and wallows in malaise, for any reason, not just a poor queen, it is not uncommon to find beekeepers also experiencing frustration and losing heart. When beekeepers throw in the towel, especially on a larger scale, there is more at risk than the honey we enjoy in our green tea or the simmering anger of our spouse wondering why we entered such a challenging hobby at such a challenging juncture in time (translation: how come you haven't harvested any honey in three years and why are we buying new bees to replace those old that died this past winter?) The absence of adequate pollinators affects everyone who irresponsibly grumbles with their mouths additionally one-third full of food humbly provided for them, courtesy of the tireless, under-appreciated honey bee.The benchmark of queen rearing is grafting, the mandatory technique that winnows out the potentials from the professionals. I won't argue against grafting even though I don't practice this method, but I firmly believe alternative queen rearing methods offer equally satisfactory options with similarly acceptable results. With the Nicot system, anyone can raise their own queens and not worry about grafting, or even losing any sleep over wondering how they could possibly even learn how to graft.

Jay Smith was one of the great beekeepers and queen breeders of all time. There are many queen breeding books by scientists or small-scale breeders, but this is by a beekeeper who raised thousands of queens every year. This is much more applicable to practical queen rearing. This is also a method that does not require grafting, good for those of us who can't see well enough to graft, and does not require the purchase of special equipment, good for those of us lacking in the funds to buy one of the graftless systems on the market.
