🔵Grafting Queens for Beginners! Queen Rearing series | Part 2

[@dillinger8534]

Always love your videos, you spend so much effort in helping others, don't know where you find the time. Just show your passion, I would have said your love but she is always behind the camera!! Here in N.E. Texas Beetles play havock on our hives.

[@bonniejoseph9774]

Practice, practice,practice! Thanks for all your knowledge through these videos.

[@redfearnteal6896]

I am not a beekeeper and have no hives but I am seriously considering trying it. Your videos are great and thank you for them

[@dustinstober9647]

As a new beekeeper, I love your content. I really like how you explain the methods and caveat that there are other ways to do it but this is what works best for you

[@amfarmsllc5624]

Enjoy you and Laurel, thank you.

[@richarddubbs7816]

Six days ago I did my first ever graft, checked them today after live streaming Church services to my folks, and I have 17 out of 30 cells. I praise the Lord for a first try and getting seven more that I hoped I would achieve. Keep teaching us your labors are paying off. Blessings!

[@jeffkantz6928]

God works in mysterious ways

[@adamumakaranga179]

Can you sent your contact in order to share a lot of beekeeping issues

[@charlesguillot7267]

Thanks for all the great information. Best on the internet.

[@maliboy69]

Great video, a really clear look at how to go about it.

[@bradwahlin9625]

I am super excited to start my own grafting! My stuff arrives tomorrow. Thanks for this video!

[@johntanner6229]

Thank you for all of your videos! My wife and I always learn something.

[@tanyadebeer3118]

I am a first year beekeeper from South Africa and want to thank you for all your great advise I love your videos and will soon try out grafting queens can’t wait. 🙂

[@travisprawitz3260]

Love your videos. Learning how to expand my colonies.

[@robertward5595]

As a beginner in my 2nd. Year I truly do appreciate your videos, especially this one. For I was getting ready to try to raise my own queens. Thank you.

[@tlcraig9033]

I learn from your work every time you post

[@k70h]

I’m planning on try my hand at grafting this year, this video came out just at the right time. Thanks for all that you and Laurel do to help us out.

[@LesIsMoreFilms]

Just came across your videos! Possibly the best there is on KZbin for all you need to know about Beekeeper!

[@Alia-oo6lg]

Every time I go to Dadant the staff is always talking good about. On the first receipt I got from buying a hive they made sure to write your name down so I could watch your KZbin! Thank you so much for your videos, this is my first year beekeeping and this information has been helpful. I have already went back to Dadant 3 times, with an open wallet - couldn’t stop at buying one hive. Take care and hope you keep this channel going!

[@joecnc3341]

Thank You- Thank You - Thank You- for this video, Kaman!

[@tedjackson5272]

I like it when people down south say "Fix'n"

[@kamonreynolds]

We like it too. Especially when we use it in regards to momma or Grandmama or Laurel is making dinner with all the fixin's

[@James-hg8bg]

We say that or “bout to”

[@janiceseigler6317]

Great video! This is my next step in beekeeping. Perfect timing.

[@tnbeelady7255]

I'm "fixin" to start queen rearing within the next two weeks!!

[@jerrieprice475]

Great video! Thanks for all the time you spend on these!

[@donbearden1953]

Kamon, I’m taking this all in but an old nervous, almost blind man like me would probably stick the grafting tool though my other hand or go after one larvae and get one from a capped cell. Thanks for the video!

[@kamonreynolds]

Perhaps we can get the next series going soon on graftless queen rearing and hopefully that works well. Going to take a second to get it setup but it would be fun and educational!

[@SergeantMajorH]

Yeah, emergency queen response works great. Throw a frame of brood and young larvae into a 5 frame nuc with nurse bees and in less than 24 hours they have already started new queen cells. Really simple if you need to queenright only one or two hives. They'll make easily 5-10 queen cells on one frame. You can also cut those queens out from that hive of 5-10 queen cells before one hatches and kills all the other queens, and put that peanut onto another queenless hive's frame and there you have it. Good luck.

[@myrlstone8904]

Don, check out the Nicot system in that case . Follow the included directions to a “T” and you should have good luck. Actually that goes for the complete process - a string of simple but each very important steps which must follow a strict time schedule. Kit is a bit pricey but you can find knockoffs on Amazon. If you go that route and the system works for you, invest in the Nicot.

[@rogerbarnes7093]

Another great video. Thanks to you and your wife for sharing your time and talent to teach others.

[@paulchristu996]

Do you put the cups into a hive for a day or so to be “polished” first, before grafting?

[@kamonreynolds]

I don't Paul and I find they work great straight out of the bag!

[@mikewalko21]

Great video

[@matthewb7800]

Throw my name in the hat. Also, might think about a clip on macro lense for your phone for those close-ups.

[@rickiering3485]

As always, great video.

[@kamonreynolds]

David you are too kind and it is very humbling to hear you say that. We hope to perfect our craft more as time goes on and perhaps we can help others enjoy beekeeping as much as we do!

I never realized it was fairly simple to do. It always intimidated me...thank you

[@DavidM-sx5gp]

Tried grafting for the first time last week. 2 of 8 were successful. I think my box setup was a bit inadequate. With your help the next ones will do better. Thanks for the great videos.

[@ejennings98]

Great video and perfect timing.

[@sandram.5135]

Not having to deal with hideous hives/urtacaria, and enjoying healthy, balanced and smooth skin simply feels so good, in case you’re not afraid of something different I agree that Shane Zormander’s approach is an example that actually works.

[@brucesouthernsassapiaries8316]

[@jacksparrow1292]

It's 2021 when I found this video, this year I am going to graft some so I can get some of my own queens. I first had Bees back in the mid-80s & never wanted to graft until now. So thank you for giving me some great ideas on getting started. I have made several Mini Nucs & a friend who has had Bees for many many years gave me his styrofoam Mini Nucs. I also so several Queen Castels ready to go, hello Spring.
