[@snugzinc.2988]

There's no mention of the Queen cells. Please talk about that, and inform of what to do in those instances.

Well done not afraid to be a good beekeeper Smooth movement is all right Good luck to you always girls !!!

Thank you! I hope to grow and learn through the process!

[@halohunter798]

Why did you leave the frames spaced apart. The frames are designed to be pushed together that's why it's tapered at the bottom.

[@AnnaKra]

We didn't, we fixed it before we closed it. We were actually still checking the hive. We just shortened the video so that we're not wasting viewers time. You know, like cutting out the boring parts. lol. But you're right that is a must before closing the hive. Thank you for watching!

very inspiring bees episode, thanks for sharing ms Anna....

Thank you! :)

you're always welcome ms Anna, you're so kind, i will turn-on the bell for you :)

[@lourensklopper4217]

Just 1 thing. Check the lit for the queen bee before you put it on the ground. When open box you can use more smoke. Dont just put frame in, wiggel it a bit so the bees can move out the way. If you find the queen, it would be best to mark her.

[@privatebubba8876]

You mean the inner cover, the bees can't get to the lid.

[@lourensklopper4217]

Yes. The inner cover is closed off. So please check it for the queen before you put it on the ground. Normaly you would not find her there, but I have seen some videos where the queen is on the inner cover or the lit.

[@AnnaKra]

That is great advice! Thank you! Obviously we’re both newbs haha.

[@mountainhobbit1971]

does Natasha have her own KZbin channel so I can follow her bee experiences?

[@AnnaKra]

Not that I know of. Thanks for watching!

[@brucejarrell5707]

Outstanding

[@siakusha7302]

Great video, thanks for posting. Although it’s nice to find the queen every time you open the box, as long as you see eggs and larvae in open combs, your queen is doing well.

[@AnnaKra]

Yes, that is true! Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

[@zcsaba77]

Yes, if owner see 1-3 days egg, queen is in hive, and doing her job good, but for beginer looking for egg its harder then find queen, if her vision not enough good, like mine, I better see fresh eggs, if I turn to light (to sun) and look from closer or must bring herself battery light, but queen I can easier find in shadow and look it from far (keep frame in straight arms), I try it search in sunlight bees wings make reflection, impossible for me, its looks like keep mirror in my hand

[@zcsaba77]

And Natasha must recognize queens moving, mated queen go slowly, she watching to cells, her leg put to wide, she need space for walking, if watching to frame from far looking allways to abnormal moves, workerbees moving faster, but if in hive is not mated queen she run like race horse😊, she dont know what to do

[@AnnaKra]

@@zcsaba77 Yes, must see the eggs!

[@zcsaba77]

@@AnnaKra I see better in virgin comb, in dark comb for me is harder, but someone see better in dark comb

[@DanSebastianEcobici]

Interesant! Cu cat citea mai mult si stia mai multe cu atat realiza ca de fapt nu stie mai nimic. Frumos spus ! Bafta !

[@privatebubba8876]

When looking for the queen look for a shiny black thorax and orange/golden legs with an elongated abdomen.

[@AnnaKra]

Yeah, maybe next time we will find her lol

[@DerekEvans1013]

I had no idea you were into beekeeping!! That's pretty awesome...

[@garyshaffer68]

You two did good. When you pull your first frame out you don't shake the bees back in the box . Turn your back to the sun so you can use it to see in the cells to look for eggs and larva. Its easyer to find the queen if you hold the frames at a 45 degree from your body. To much smoke will run the queen off the frames. Nice Job.😁

[@AnnaKra]

Thank you for watching and commenting :) This is good advice. Thank you.

[@shaney3116]

I would like to know your dads thoughts on why that nuc is making drones. Or was that cells from making a split?

[@AnnaKra]

That’s from a split. Also, a little bit of drones is normal.

[@DialedN_07]

Great video. Tip for new beekeepers out there. Do not shake your frames down inside of the hive, shake them above it. Shaking inside the hive is a great way to accidentally crush your queen.

[@AnnaKra]

Great tip!

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

Great video and good luck with your bees I hope you have success with them and I am a new bee keeper and I make my own stuff because it cost to much to buy everything you need the thing I buy is my frames and foundation.

[@AnnaKra]

Yes, it's much cheaper to make your own, especially if you have the time!

[@paulflannery3819]

Very nice video, and congrats on starting beekeeping, you’ll find it very rewarding and fascinating. Yes, do talk to your bees, I think they respond, and also listen to them. With experience you’ll learn to know what kind of mood their in by the sound of their hum and behavior. Good Luck to you! 🐝🐝

[@tazza1076]

On the second frame there were some queen cup , maybe you should explain that she's got to remove the queen cell so the don't want to swarm ... Like you video...

[@AnnaKra]

Thank you for watching and commenting! Yes, this is great advice. Maybe next video. It’s hard to cover everything in one video! :)

[@jonathanbreckenridge4758]

Stupid question...I am so interested in beekeeping yet ive never been stung and dont know how I would react. I also know its the second time you get stung you have a reaction. Should I meet with a beekeeper with an epipen? Im kinda scared...

[@AnnaKra]

Just in case, I would. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@zcsaba77]

Its for me sometimes hard to find not signed queen, even I doing 16 year ☺, she must learn paint queen, best practicing on drone, not sting, and if die during painting no problem, or stick number marking. She bought from your dad this hive or colony?

[@AnnaKra]

Yes, she got it from us! Yes, it can be hard to find the queen, especially if she's small. We don't recommend painting because it's not good for her health.

[@zcsaba77]

@@AnnaKra I have one 3,5 yo queen is painted, nice breeding, bees pulling queen cell, probably they want exchange it, she will not swarm, because she have just one wing (i dont torn it, maybe bees, or just be age), in spring had two weak family, I decide put together, I let both queen, 2 queens laying eggs together, lather I found just old one, young one was 1yo, and they choce older, it true havent practicing with paint probably kill it, maybe not paint, kill when releasing back to colony, bees not recognize our queen, but exist varios practice what will remove paint smell from queen, I take cage to my hand, I put to my mouth I breath slowly, make warm temperature dry paint, remove aceton smell from queen, some beekeeper just spit to queen, bees will clean down, they not smell aceton

These girls love wearing black trousers when are opening hives!? :D crasy!!!

I wear black all the time and the bees don't seem to be bothered by it. But yes as a precaution it's a good idea to wear lighter colored clothes. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@bradgoliphant]

That grub was not dead. They detected something wrong and unwaxed the cap and pulled him out.

[@AnnaKra]

Could be! Thanks for watching! :)

[@bradgoliphant]

@@AnnaKra Ya there are so many new hybrid queens now that are "Varroa Hygiene Sensitive,' which means that the bees can smell when Varroa are attempting to multiply which happens inside a capped brood cell. So they uncap it, and pull the pupa out and take it our of the hive. This is how this new hybrid is controlling varroa mites

[@lenchick8114]

Awesome video 👍😊

[@AnnaKra]

Thanks lenchick!!

[@HONEYBEEHIGHWAY]

I recommend wearing a ball cap. One to catch sweat and 2 to keep stingers out of your head. They’ll sting through. Nice video

[@paws057]

Oh trust me if she’s not there they get a little snotty and not calm at all. Never failed I always found her on the last frame I pulled out. Lol

She will watch this video by the end of the summer and laugh at herself. If she's in her hives every 3 to 4 days, she'll get a pattern and get used to being stung. Then she'll bee a beekeeper for sure. She''l probably shed the jacket. The vail is always the last to go. LOL. It comes in handy if the bees are a little tense for some reason.
