Eric Talley: Queen Supersedure & Brood Pheromone

Eric’s research was based on observations over many years that caused him to conclude that some of what is printed in the text-books about the cause of queen supersedure is, in fact, incorrect.

He will explain how he formed his hypothesis, how he designed the research study, and review the results and recommendations that will help beekeepers keep most queens from being superseded.

Eric Talley is a NC State Beekeepers Association Master Craftsman Beekeeper who lives and raises bees in the Hubert/Swansboro area of Onslow County.  He started beekeeping in 1973 as a Future Farmers of America project in high school.  Four years later when he joined the US Marine Corps and gave away his bees. Eric didn’t have bees for the next 30 years. He currently has 45, 10 frame colonies and 60, 5 frame nucs.  During the summer he raises VSH queens for sale to other beekeepers in the area.

Eric has designed and completed research in collaboration with Dr. David Tarpy, NCSU. This research has been published by the International Bee Research Association in their Journal of Apicultural Research publication.
