Hello, nicely done sir, years of practice I would say makes you perfect, I’ve been beekeeping for 9 years now and I’m still a little nervous clipping her royal highnesses wings. Thank you for sharing your valued knowledge with us .

I really want to clip your hands off. This is grotesque. The queen should be able to fly away. So disgusting that these barbaric beekeeping techniques are still being used.
