Abstract
Polyandrous queen honey bee plays a crucial role in regulating colony
strength, sex ratio, colony productivity, social communication, pheromonal regulation
of colonial events and developmental controls. On the other hand, a honey bee colony
without a queen fails to perpetuate. Therefore for profitable beekeeping, apiarists try to
inoculate a colony with a queen with considerable fertility and strong pheromonal
profiling. The present chapter highlights the importance of requeening and its method . <br>
