It was first published by George Demaree (1832–1915) in an article in the American Bee Journal in 1892. [1] Demaree also described a swarm prevention method in 1884, but that was a two-hive system that is unrelated to modern "demareeing".
Beekeepers once had to graft the honeybee eggs or larvae by hand, using tiny scoup-like tools and in some cases by using tools such as tweezers. This fiddly approach would frequently result in the damaging of the egg or larva that was being grafted thus halting the development into a queen bee.

A honey extractor is a mechanical device used in the extraction of honey from honeycombs.A honey extractor extracts the honey from the honey comb without destroying the comb.
Diagram illustrating the whip and tongue grafting technique. Make a sloping cut in the rootstock with a "tongue" pointing upwards. Make a matching cut in the scion wood with a "tongue" pointing downwards. Join the two, ensuring maximum contact of the vascular cambium layers.
In the mid to late spring, just before a bee hive would naturally split by swarming, beekeepers often remove frames of brood, with adhering bees, to make up new starter hives, called "nucs" or nucleus colonies. In areas where the climate is mild, one frame may be sufficient to start a new colony, with an added queen. But usually two to three ...
Mr. Stephen Taber III, was a world-recognized honey bee researcher. He was born on April 17, 1924, to Dr. Stephen Taber II and Bessie Ray Taber of Columbia, S.C. His father was the South Carolina State Geologist from 1912 to 1947 and the head of the Department of Geology at the University of South Carolina, where he was involved in the engineering of the Santee Cooper Dam among many other ...
This is widely used, especially by commercial beekeepers. Most centrifugal extractors are not suitable for natural combs. This form of extraction is therefore closely associated with vertical hives, which since the mid 1800s have been the most common variety of hive, and are normally furnished with frames including artificial support.
