Just started watching you & I find your videos fascinating. I’m 51 & terrified of bees. I was attacked by an angry swarm as a child but I thought that by learning more about bees that maybe I can work through this phobia. I think it’s working as I can now watch without covering my eyes! LOL! Thank you for taking the time to make your videos!

Curious if this method could help me out?. I ordered queens to increase my bee yard this year. I have 3 hives that moved into some of my deadouts last year, I had a total loss. I'm in ny. I planned on taking a couple of frames from my 3 existing hives to start new colonies with theses new queens. When opening up my hives to check on food for them, there numbers are too small. I don't think they will be able to donate frames in the late spring having only a frame or two of bees themselves. Could I buy a package, and spit it between the 2 frame nucs and add the mated queens and frames to start out? If i could, how many 2 frame nucs would one package be able to comfortably make with out stretching bees to thin? I would assume I'd need to feed them in the process of this if yes? If not, any ideas???

Hi, wonderful operation you have going. Simple question if I may. What is the difference and or pros and cons with the 2 frame mini Mating Nucs vs. queen castles? Is one better than the other? Is it cost that makes you do it this way? Do you find one way the Queens are more likely to return vs. getting lost? Thanks for any info you may give.

Hello David, I watched this video last year when it came out and again tonight. I have a question actually two questions. You put a new frame with a starter strip and beside it a black plastic frame just to make sure that they started the new frame out straight. You said that when they had drawn the starter strip frame out that you would remove the black plastic frame. Now the first question: When ;you remove the black plastic frame do you replace it with another new starter strip frame? And if so how far along should the first starter strip frame be drawn out before it is ok to replace the black plastic frame with the new starter starter frame? Oh, and a great video by the way! Thanks for posting! Sincerely, Phillip Hall

@julieenslow5915
@julieenslow5915 6 жыл бұрын
xshanghu Only a mated Queen can lay eggs that produce workers or another Queen, you probably knew that. Bees mate in flight, and she wants to mate with a number of different drones to gather sufficient sperm to last her the rest of her egg laying days. Also that allows for some genetic diversity.

How quick can you go from a 2frame mating Nuc to a 10 frame. Or do you just go from 2 frame to 5 then expand next year? Just got permission to use part of 200 acres where I work, middle of farm land and just wonder if I'd be able to expand enough to get them thru winter.
