How to Install a New Queen

[@sharonc.2207]

Thank you for this video

[@mikeyg426]

Thanks for the video. Im expecting my new queen from you tomorrow. Does she come with a paint mark?

[@micahobaca]

Can you put a queen in a hive with no bees and that will attract bees?

[@sunshineapriaries]

No

[@mannlake]

Unfortunately, that will not work to attract bees. You can try a swarm lure to attract a swarm.

[@belain840]

Do we need to remove the attendant bees first?

[@mannlake]

Attendant bees should be left in with the queen when installing in the hive.

How will the Queen bee eat food if we put in cage? 🤔

[@mannlake]

The worker bees will feed her.

Where did u get the gloves? Thx

[@mannlake]

These gloves are the vented goatskin gloves sold by Mann Lake. www.mannlakeltd.com/protective-gear/vented-goatskin-beekeeping-gloves/

[@ridinglass5S]

How long are u supposed to "check for exceptance"? 5 min. or so?

[@mannlake]

The time it takes will depend on the inspection process. If you see evidence of eggs on the first frame, it will be much faster than if you have to pull a few frames.

Where did you buy those gloves??

[@mannlake]

Those gloves can be purchased at www.mannlakeltd.com/protective-gear/vented-goatskin-beekeeping-gloves/

[@bradgoliphant]

@@mannlakethx. They look like they fit like nitrile gloves-even though they are goat skin. Thx.
