Queens Poor Mating Mesh Floor Version Cell Punch Frame Modified Vortex Escape Roger's Nuc Box Version Uses of Nuc Boxes Roger's Beekeeping Course |
Beekeeping Writings of Roger PattersonRoger Patterson is a beekeeper based in West Sussex, he is quite active in his local association... Wisborough Green Division of West Sussex BKA, who are neighbors of Sussex BKA. Roger is well known for his strong views on poor queen mating, there are versions of his document on this subject in the menu above left, but Roger has other ideas as well, among these is heavy usage of the punched cell method of queen rearing and there is a page detailing a frame designed by him for this specific purpose. Also in the menu is a link to a version of open mesh floor designed by Roger, that exists in two similar versions... One with alighting board and the other without. |

Roger is an inventive person and has produced an alternative version of my Vortex escape, based on a square design. He has also designed simple nucleus boxes that can be simply assembled by those unskilled in woodwork, with the idea of promoting simplicity and low cost.
