Queen & Disease Clinic Technician Deniz Chen dissects a honeybee drone April 14 in Thomas Hall. The Queen & Disease Clinic provides a broad range of analytical tests that can be conducted to evaluate the reproductive proficiency of queens and drones and overall colony health. "Because there is only one queen per hive and she is the sole egg-layer of the colony, how good she is is really important for the colony productivity. We can use the same techniques we use in our research to see how well-mated she is and how productive she is going to be. We offer this service to beekeepers all across the country who want to gauge their queens to see how good they are," said David Tarpy, professor of entomology and extension apiculturist.
