Bee breeding and queen rearing are not the same, queen rearing is the process of producing queen honey bees, whereas breeding is the process of selection that brings about the lines to be propagated by queen rearing. Even when the queens are reared, there is still further selection required to ensure that the progeny are up to the 'correct' specification. Drone rearing is also of prime importance, but is often not properly considered. This page of links to various bee breeding items should enable beekeepers to navigate this website more easily.
