The information on the different color pollen is something I’ve never heard before. Thanks for adding that little extra tidbit for me.

Dear American Beekeeper, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your insightful method of introducing a new queen to a hive. I was particularly impressed with how you carefully guided the process, ensuring a smooth transition for both the queen and the colony. Your expertise and dedication to beekeeping are truly commendable. I am confident that your method will prove invaluable to beekeepers worldwide. As a beekeeper myself, I am always eager to learn new techniques and improve my practices. Your method has provided me with valuable insights that I will undoubtedly put into practice. I am grateful for your willingness to share your knowledge and experience with the beekeeping community. Thank you again for your generosity and expertise. I am proud to be a fellow beekeeper. With warmest regards, Mohammed from sultante Oman muscat

good video, FYI, Michael Bush is a big time proponent of the upper entrance. Actually for more reasons that honey, in his book is the Practical Beekeeper, one of his big advantages of the upper entrance is the lack of skunk pressure as I remember it, and as a fellow husker I tend to agree that there is a lot of skunks in the midwest. I tried upper entrances early on a few years ago and the bees did not seem to use it much, now with a few more years of experience maybe I should give it a try again and see if they would take to it better.

The thing i hate about these Refractometers is you have to recalculate it with extra virgin olive oil every time room temp changes 5°, but im glad i read that in instructions cause its usually. 5 to 1 # out of calibration everytime i get ready to check. Hope to get one of those electronic ones like Kaymon one day, but they are pricy

True, mold doesn't kill bees farmers do with pesticides, superdfm from "strong microbials "will take care of that . Also varoa mites kill colonies, oxalic acid vapor with Robs instantvap will take care of that. Bees just coat over mold, not an issue. Thanks Gus for educational videos

I'm going to make one of these today and possibly transfer a queen over to a split that looks queenless. We'll see! I unfortunately don't have any brood in the split, just nectar in all cells which is why I'm thinking the split never had a queen make it. You say wait 5 days correct? I'll probably need to put some attendants in there with her from the original hive.

I am glad you clarified that this was a mating nuc. Most important is to have enough nurse bees to care for and feed royal jelly from day 1 of hatching all the way thru mating and into the period of 3 weeks, time-tested, to truly see that she is a good proven established laying queen. A must IMO for a successful virgin queen cell just introduced inside your nuc. Thanks 🐝

I think you said three days I don’t think you mean three days. If you kill the queen that is lying in three days, the eggs are hatched and they are perfect age to make queen cells.
