How To Mark Queens, Cage Attendants, Manage Mating Nucs

[@dcsblessedbees]

Just want to say that I really enjoyed your videos, a few years old now, but a lot of great information for a first year beekeeper. Ty :) Blessed Days...

[@primitivedaisy]

Gosh, I really miss your videos! I hope to see you back sometime. I’m in Wisconsin, so your videos are very helpful for us northern beekeepers. I hope all is well with you. 😊🐝

[@aanitaobrien]

Great to have you posting again. Thanks. Hope all is well.

[@jpmako]

Great to see you back. Hopefully all is well!

[@rosirockful]

I Miss your videos. You helped my understanding of beekeeping. Thanks.

[@bmwallace2002]

Miss your videos! They’re good stuff!

[@sdichampion]

You are one of my favorite teachers on KZbin. Wish you posted more 👍

[@scooterpush]

You did great with your breakdown of the process==step by step, straightforward and a good speaking voice. I don't care much for hotshots or clowns. Thank you for making this video. New sub here.

[@arthurdent2094]

Really pleased so see you posting again. I am a novice beekeeper in the UK and many of the KZbin channels seem to to be US focused and somehow different to what we do here in the UK. Your videos, on the other hand, are all informative, illustrative and above all interesting. I have watched every one of them and was worried that you may have given up posting. Keep it up! Looking forward to seeing many more!

[@WordsPhotos]

Every one of your videos are quite educational and unique. Thanks

[@PhillipHall01]

Almost every comment that I read stated in one way or another that we are glad you are back and posting again.. I will also say, Glad you are back at it , and a great video to boot!! Thanks , Phillip Hall

[@josephvogel7234]

I have been pretty successful handling my queens when it is necessary . I have used the drones to become confident. Grabbing attendants will be a lot easier to master now that I have seen your helpful trick. It is so good to see you back.

[@rlcrill]

So great to see more from you! Thanks Devin.

[@ThoughtfulAl]

Your videos are so watchable. Very clear guidance well spoken too. Thanks

[@johnneumann9902]

welcome back....... you have been missed..... thanks for posting!!!!!

[@joestew2193]

Glad you are back :) great speaker and knowledgeable teacher.

[@manatoa1]

Great to see you back. Hope all's well with you.

[@BKBees]

Good video. It's tough, getting the correct camera orientation to show caging queens, and you did a great job at that.

[@kerrythompson2838]

Devan. Finally you are back. Thank you for posting again. I have learned a great deal from your clips. Cheers

[@zigzagstreaks793]

Another excellent video and a welcome surprise this AM. I think it's safe to say that you have been missed, Devan.

[@markheslin8745]

Awesome to see us back.....

[@jameskownacki8639]

I'm so happy to see you back again...of all the videos I watch..you were missed the most ...take care and keep your information coming !

[@wolf84357]

Fantastic to have you posting videos again. Have watched all your previous ones and found them very interesting. Hopefully more soon.

[@PhillipHall01]

Devan, I now am confidently marking my queens with no problem or lack of confidence doing so. Until this video, It was a pain for me marking queens. I WAS using a marking cage but not anymore! Thanks so much! I hope you are having a good year with your bees as well as life in general. Phillip Hall

[@linuxman51]

Excellent detailed demonstration on getting attendants in the cage, I'd always wondered about that. Thanks!

[@gordonhogg4675]

Thanks Devan, it is great to see your videos again, I am doing my Happy Dance! Several good nuggets of information there, it is appreciated.

[@uswwt]

Very happy to see you posting again, Devan. Please keep the videos coming. Very informational. Thank you!

[@barbaram5787]

So glad you've done another video. You are the one that got me interested in managing hives as Single Brood Chamber. I couldn't find a lot of info on it but as an older female I couldn't lift the deeps by myself so this year I just went for it. I have 3 Single Brood hives. Much easier for me to handle. I'm managing and learning a lot but can't say if I've done it right.

[@DeeNashreddirt]

I'm so glad you're back! You taught me so much last year. Thank you.

[@brianday8217]

Thrilled to see a new video from you! 🙂 I find your videos an incredible wealth of easily explained knowledge for us amateur beekeepers. Please keep them coming. 🍻

[@aholmesezify]

Sir missed you and hope to hear from you soon really enjoy your videos.

[@debbierodda2203]

So pleased to see your videos up again.

[@wayneparker9782]

It is great to hear from you again....i hope we can look forward to more information. There is so much more to learn. You articulate the information well with continuity...so we have a beginning... but...im feeling...its a long way to the end...please continue helping...thank you from florida...

[@donovancoughlin]

WOW!! That was an excellent video. You have a great way of explaining straight forward well practiced ways of getting it done. Its great to see you posting again and hope you will do more. Thank you for taking the time to do this I (and I believe so many more) really appreciate it.

[@boblewis5420]

Excellent video! Great information that was very logical and easy to follow. Thank you!

[@tsuga9371]

Awesome videos man. Hope you are able to keep doing them. All the best from Niagara Region

[@brianmahern6699]

Glad to see you back. We run both 3 frame deep mating nucs and mini ones. Use capped brood from deep mating nucs to boost weak colonies.

[@neiljohnson4582]

[@coreymatheson4132]

Great to see you again Devan! Excellent video and the timing was perfect. I purchase a couple double mating nucs from Mann Lake and eager to give them a try. I'm a third-year beekeeper with 28 hives and want to promote desirable traits in my queens beyond walkaway splits. I haven't seen anyone else do a video on this topic. Thanks again!!

[@drewt3210]

Great comprehensive video! FYI, I've used Sharpie oil based paint pens marking queens for nine years without issue. I typically keep queens up to 4-5 years as long as they remain productive. Best, @HoneyOnWales

[@josephvogel7234]

I have used plastic cages from queens I have bought. What can I use for candy to seal the ends with. I am so stoked you back!

[@brandoncarthen3768]

Can you please post more videos?!?!? I love your videos on single deep management and your thoughts on things!! Please do some more!!
