Description
Jay Smith was one of the great beekeepers and queen breeders of all time. There are many queen breeding books by scientists or small-scale breeders, but this is by a beekeeper who raised thousands of queens every year. This is much more applicable to practical queen rearing. This is also a method that does not require grafting, good for those of us who can't see well enough to graft, and does not require the purchase of special equipment, good for those of us lacking in the funds to buy one of the graftless systems on the market.

Person
Jay Smith was an active writer in the bee journals during his day and wrote two of the most loved and used of the queen rearing books. Both are still being followed by many today. He is most famous for this book, Queen Rearing Simplified, but Better Queens is the culmination of his work in queen rearing.
