A well‐reared queen of good stock can make beekeeping a pleasure. There is no reason to keep bees that are not gentle, productive, and disease and parasite resistant. In general, colonies should enter the winter with a queen that is not more than a year old. Every beekeeper should learn how to rear a few queens (Oliver 2014), and then keep queenright nucs on hand. All beekeepers should demand that queen producers start selecting for varroa‐resistant stock.
