This is a man coming to terms with his mortality. Thank you for sharing this invaluable knowledge with the world, Mr BeeMan

[@txfirefighter]

You never let me down FBM! Thanks so much. See ya on the Beesource Chat. I'm going to try and make my own queens this year just to practice.

[@dchambers986]

You made me LOL with the double warning at the start - even though I'm the man of my house and my wife does what I say - so I'm not worried - I like my wife to be happy - so I must agree. Best advice in the video, LOL!

[@ctgolfer]

Great job Don, you are so generous with your vast knowledge!

[@Lanyappi]

Don, thanks for sharing, I wished you had been doing this when I started back in the 80's. My son wants to start the hobby now, he is in business in Dallas, TX & comes homes most weekends. I'm going to send him this link to start watching. Is there a search so he can see how you locate the queen?

[@michaelmcneil4168]

How did he get on? Hope things worked out. It sounds a really interesting father and son project.

[@greensasque]

Thank you for sharing this information. Hope to see more videos in the future.

[@carolsloanes381]

[@DestroyingAngel7]

You rock, Don. I love you no-nonsense, DIY, straight-talk - I don't see anywhere to donate - do I need to go to your website?

[@burmahero1]

Sir, what is the best season of the year to make queen. Spring, autum or winter.My hive is dying and the queen seems to lay very little eggs.The number of bees have drastically reduced to around 200 or so. Please advice. Want to replace the queen. Its 2 years old now.

[@benstacy6226]

I really appreciate how you reiterate not to get your wife's stuff. I have done this before and she was not happy with me!! =(

[@michaelmcneil4168]

I am the man in my house! If i want to do something I just do it. If I could find a wife that would accept those terms I could be happily married by now instead of still waiting. Um....

[@scott33761]

And it is just that easy, in fact I found it to be easier then it looks when Don is doing it. just do exactly what he shows and you will be successful.

[@beekeepingpakistan]

Are you a beek

[@Morph3as]

thank you Don !

[@beekeepingpakistan]

Awesome videos

[@micktait8576]

Very much appreciated the knowledge that you do pass on im just ready to start hobbie bee keepeing

[@paulrowland2044]

Yeah, common sense and experience!! Fatbeeman been around a LONG time. And of course he's a Georgia boy. But really all he says is from fact based experience. Been reading about him for years.

[@Cinqmil]

Hey Don, What is your take on topbar hives? Is it worth it to build one to try it out? Grtz

[@426superbee4]

Thanks for sharing

[@Kenethchrion2116]

I wonder how you keep a lot of queens alive if you plan to sell them.

[@michaelmcneil4168]

I wonder how you keep a lot of queens alive if you plan to sell them. I imagine I would make them to order. If I advertised all winter come May they would be sold and in production? Fascinating stuff though. Who tells the bees what to do every April?

[@oliverhorsfall4501]

Michael McNeil yeah I wonder how you could keep multiples...

good job, I like your videos

[@valdrinbeta9835]

can someone tell me more about this stuff (metal and wood) cause i can't understand from what is she made?

[@michaelmcneil4168]

Wood dowel is about £2.00 for a strip 8 foot long from a timber yard. drill a 15 hole base plate for the dowel legs to fit into. soak them in cold water to get the wood wet and shake the water off then dip them three or four times in a pot of warm wax to build up three or four layer thick cups. Then plant them on a strip of wood covered in a layer of warm wax to pull off the cups. Insert them into the frame and put the frame in the hive for the queen to lay her eggs in. God tells them what to do, how to do it and when it needs doing, all you have to do is supply the means to fool them. Basically they are a computer programme that can not see a buffer overflow coming. You insert the wax cells like the Trojan Horse then you take them out every couple of weeks or so and send them off to pastures new Federal Express. or Royal Mail. In 6000 years of human history, evolution has not had the luxury of pinging them with any cluebyfours yet. You just keep the orders coming and it never will.

[@fineshooter]

once there capped watch for thinning of end then place them in nuc's. Don

[@Maxander2001]

Thanks, Don!

[@hamidkarimi5576]

Thanks you about you

[@nordicbloodal254]

Should we fill the wax cone with honey or something else or its ok with only wax ?

[@turnitupmike]

As I understand it, just the wax cup then goes onto the bar like he did with the cut out strips. But this way putting (grafting) the larvae in the royal jelly it is in to just move it from brood cells into these larger cup queen sized cells and position them facing down then back into the hive to look after them for the 10 or so days become queens for the nurse bees to raise into queens. Then into mating Nucs or queen castles. *** As I understand what I think the approach is.

[@omergorsi6352]

can i buy the thing you used to make the queen cells?

[@sneakers0]

after the cells are capped, how long do you wait to put them in a queenless hive?

[@ME_MeAndMyBees]

If they are capped, your good to go... Put them right in ! Make sure their are no other cups 'made' in emergency by the bees... Check every bit of the Hive. Or a random Queen could kill your 'chosen Queen.' 🐝

[@fineshooter]

any dowels work.just shape them on ends. Don

[@coopermontgomery4947]

when can you raise queens cells??? What season?

[@ME_MeAndMyBees]

Early Summer. You need Drones and enough time for the Queen to be mated, get a good laying pattern ... To sell on, or build up her own Colony for Winter... 🐝

[@Inspirationhills]

Great videos!! what type of wax are you using?

[@michaelmcneil4168]

beehive him self

[@ME_MeAndMyBees]

His own Beeswax taken from his Hive. (Commercial Wax can have built up residue in it.... Eg Pesticides, etc...)
