Direct Release Queen Will They Reject Or Accept Her?

[@Shizzlemac]

“Right there” me: 👁👄👁 WHERE

[@rachaellongobardi4630]

David when ur editing ur video's could u maybe put an arrow pointing at what specifically ur trying to show, either a Queen or a cell. Love watching ur videos thanks for sharing

[@dracomalfoy6626]

I dunno that sounds pretty hard to do

[@AnemicRoyaltyRX]

Yes i thought the same thing lol. Like an arrow or a circle. Would just require some video editing software is all. Man id be scared of getting stung though! How on earth are you not afraid?! 😨 lol

[@jamaalthebeekeeper1465]

This was a cool to see a queen just walk in and get accepted. Also I just installed my package of bee's I got from you. Please let me know how I did if you have the time 🙏

[@dmjshim1480]

Thanks for spoiling it

[@jamaalthebeekeeper1465]

@@dmjshim1480 maybe watch the video before reading the comments. Smart guy

[@dmjshim1480]

Did you type this comment before the video ended? No I didn’t think so. So stfu

Hi Dave! I'm so glad I stopped in to watch this video. I get some push-back when I demonstrate the direct release of queens, particularly with package installs. Although I leave her in the cage until I see them actively feeding her, once I'm convinced, out she goes. You're right, it's a perfect learning opportunity. I'd like to share that her pheromone is mostly spread through direct contact of the workers. You'll see them licking her as they take her pheromone onboard and then spread that to other bees also through direct contact until they all get her pheromone. By taking her scent IN, they can then use others to spread the sent. It's why super large colonies often have too many bees to get that message out effectively. Anyway... I keep sending you package bee customers even though it appears that you don't need the business. I'm glad to see you doing so well down there, while we're still in a snowy winter landscape. I wish you all the best as always and thanks again! Thanks for selling queenless packages. You are so right, beginners should leave the queen in her cage and let the workers get her out through the candy plug.

Who else is here just cause their bored. I’ve never even seen a queen bee so why am I here

[@teatime7669]

I was just bored today, and randomly found a video about bees so I clicked. It’s actually really entertaining to just watch a bunch of bees, great video!

[@sophierebecca6041]

I keep thinking when he puts stuff back on top of the hive the bees on the edge and the top of the frames get squashed ?

[@starscapesss]

I saw a drone while watching this and thought it was the coolest thing ever

[@MommytoConnor09]

I absolutely love to see this and find it so fascinating how the bees just instinctively know they've got the perfect queen. It'll also mean that since she's been accepted she'll be busy destroying those queen cells since they always kill off any potential Queens and there's only one Queen within a colony.

[@sxliie]

Me looking for the queen bee: all of them look the same

Bruh that's what I'm saying

I saw your billboard yesterday as I was going to trim a new client's goats' hooves.

[@goodjobhoney7340]

As usual David is awesome. All his videos are entertaining and full of information. Thumbs up from me

[@strugglingbeekeepermarkcot9642]

Great video David I can spend hours watching my bees.

[@echo3347]

Your video on this from last year really helped me feel confident about direct releasing a queen. You can definitely tell how they behave on the cage. Thank you!

[@limpton1303]

2:21 me looking dumb cause I'm looking for the queen

[@luceliorodrigues7504]

"The council will decide your fate" moment

[@angelizll]

Guys I think it’s the one towards the top right corner cause she’s not striped like the rest, u can see the other bees circling around her too 😂🥰 - 1:50

[@bogieviews]

Fascinating.

[@OklahomaBeekeeper]

Good video David, hope you have a great beekeeping season

[@dougcarter9377]

I direct released 2 queens last night after they were in the boxes for 24 hrs. Both were attacked by what appeared to be robbing of the hives. After a stressful 90 minutes and both queens flying away, I managed to recapture them and re-cage them. One should be cautious doing this, I almost lost both of my new queens. I think the nucs I was putting them in were too weak to defend the colony. Also, the lack of resources from a recent cold snap caused robbing within 2 minutes of my opening the boxes. I am not saying this doesn't work, just sharing my experience.

[@amysteriousfox8763]

How did I get here? I mean, I'm not complaining cause idk how but it's interesting

[@donaldsmith3048]

It was not long after you let the Queen out I saw some of the bees starting to fan.

[@terrystansbury9951]

picked up my two nuc's the 8th at Barnyard Bees, installed them into the Hive the 14th, this is my first experience with bees, it went great. The bees were gentle just like David said. Found the Queen in one nuc did not see the other one but bees were busy so i will see her later when i do my first inspection on the 25th , like i said this is my first time and it was great. Thanks to Barnyard Bees for sharing their Knowledge, and all the wonderful video's.

[@HILLBILLYSFIREWOOD]

Update, package bees i got from you few weeks ago are doing very well.. got one more package on order.. thanks again David. Take care buddy. Buzz buzz

[@danielbuss942]

the best way i know is soak the hive with surup and her when when they clean up; her smell will be through the hive she will rule over night

[@Donovan_Walker]

If a queen is installed in a queenless hive & she’s doing good the next day, what are the chances the bees reject her after a day has passed? Another question: how long before the new queen begins laying?

[@davidhaught84]

Odds are that if she made it a day, they have excepted her. She should start laying immediately.

[@Donovan_Walker]

BARNYARD BEES thanks for the reply, and thanks a million for all your informative videos. I’m a new beekeeper & have learned a ton of information from your videos

[@bradgoliphant]

David, when the bees replace a queen, and build a new one, will that queen always bee similar to the old one?

[@mellownessuperstar2618]

Btw. What's your address or P.O. box sir? Just wanted to send you a box of tissues to help with those sniffles 😉

[@mschroed99]

One of the best shot video of queen interaction with workers. Fantastic! TQ

[@dumblucas4435]

No idea which is the queen

[@fbishop59]

Hi

[@jdesmond4101]

Excellent. Thanks

[@robfitz5209]

how many days does it take for the queen to get out of the cage with a candy plug? 3?

[@synnieology]

He kinda sounds like Gomer Pyle

[@tomasjosefvela1]

Just subscribed to your other channel, I live in the city but have had chickens in the past and the neighbor that introduced us to city chickens told us about how she had also kept bees. We have been interested in the idea ever since. Hopefully one day we will get to the point where we can finally get a small building and since we own we can try our hands at keeping bees...anyway, thanks for all the work you do and thanks for sharing, i look forward to the marathon I'm going to embark on checking out your other channel. Stay safe stay happy and stay in touch with your friends and family!

[@BeekeepingFromScratch]

David, Unrelated question, but what time of the year do you start your 2 frame NUCs? Scot

[@doctortcbkk2027]

So if they were queenless, why were they not more aggressive, flighty, or loud??

[@enigma2336]

because they have princess 🤣🤣

[@ayeslump]

BARNYARD BEES: YOU SEE HER SHES RIGHT THERE IN THE CORNER ME: NO I DONT!

[@Grace-jb8dp]

Brandon Grays she is the one who is a slightly darker orange and has no stripes like the others...I tried to explain but idk if it helped one bit😆

[@massachusettsprepper]

Good information indeed brother. Thanks for sharing.

[@samathman3937]

I have had very good success direct releasing queens. What I do is heavily, heavily smoke the hive for several minutes from above and below (using a screened bottom board). Apparently, this so disrupts the bees' ability to smell and detect pheromones that when their scent returns all they smell is the new queen. I have never lost a queen doing this.

[@fi9751]

Man i had yellowish queen at the start of the season, now they swarmed and it seems i got another than mine cause now i have a blackish queen which is maybe even up to double the size 😮 do u know how i figure out which type it is? I live in europe though 😅

[@morgantm1232]

Will they accept her? Find out after the commercials.

[@julieenslow5915]

morgantm 123 I know! So frustrating. But do remember he does not put the commercials on there - KZbin does.

[@douglasleigaber9124]

yes Accept

[@joedenton7023]

Got a question: opened a nuke and on the frames I had no worker capped brood all I saw was lots of capped drone brood with no queen cells and didn’t find the queen. What do you think is going on? Thanks for you help!

[@64324037]

Means you need a new queen

[@joedenton7023]

Nedim Kahrimanović I will give it a try! I am from Alabama if you don’t mind me asking where do you live, just curious

[@64324037]

@@joedenton7023 either you have old queen that lays drone brood or false queen. Either way you need a new queen there. Oh Im half world across, from Bosnia, South-east Europe 😂

Wow that is amazing, that beekeeping and the joy of it would get a response from half way around the world! Thank you for you insight on this! Stay healthy during this viral crises we are in!

[@floydlholt9829]

Is that a mite on the queen at 04:45?

[@gizzle-]

Floyd L Holt no queen bees usually have a little thing on their back somewhere i think sometimes they are blue or green

[@tracyweilandrealtorbeekeep3957]

What would have happened if you left the cells in with her? Im in that situation now. Made a split, added a queen, then a couple days later I saw 2 capped queen cells. Now theres a new queen and cells in a 2 frame nuc. Will the virgin kill her? Or will they eventually break down the cells. I dont have enough resources to do another split.

[@Beansie]

Won't the queen kill the virgin before it's born?
