Identifying the Queen Bee

Jon Christie, owner of Wild Mountain Bees, locates the queen bee in the hive. We take a look at her distinguishing features as she searches for an empty cell to fertilize the worker eggs. The queen takes one flight out of the hive, soon after she hatches and gains her strength. During that flight, she mates with as many other drones as possible and carries their sperm back with her to the hive. She is then responsible for laying the eggs and fertilizing them for the rest of her life.

I came here to find out how big a Queen bee is, and seen you comment , which is the bear comment ever

[@piggyoinkoink6352]

she is the one sitting upon the Iron Throne, a spot coveted by the great hives of Beesteros

[@mookieflex4613]

You can identify a queen bee by the tiara she is wearing and the royal throne she is sitting on

[@duhwolf6413]

I just wanted to know how to identify a queen, I just learned everything about bees I didn't know I wanted to know but now I know. Thanks, great educational video!

[@hlg_theshepherd2873]

I think I found a dead queen in my backyard. Brought me here, simply amazing.

[@sarahhettel7006]

Thanks this is a great video. I just did a successful split in my first year of bee keeping. I know she's there because there is fresh larva a month and a half after the split but I've still never spotted the queen in either of my hives! Maybe next spring...

[@fortitube-donnajean405]

This is a very good video! Thank you. The video is very clear. My dad used to always have bees but I didn´t pay enough attention and now I´m curious about them.

[@nuggitron]

Beautifully explained. Thanks

[@zaraheart]

This was very cool! I found a bald faced hornet on my back porch, at night. Looked like it was dying? Not sure but it wouldn’t fly it was just sitting on the wall by the porch light waving it’s butt around. Found your video because I started googling about bees lol very cool video! Informative

How these bee not sticking your hand

[@vm-snss4910]

Very informative. I'm just starting to set up a backyard hive and any information on bees, their habits, health and behavior is helpful. Thank you.

[@josephjohnson1464]

Did you end up setting up your hive?

[@stephendavies-hale6348]

Thankyou for the great information!

[@JimmyBones-f8l]

So you jest keep the bees working by attending to the queen?

[@samuelssenkolooto7877]

Can you advise on how to tap been venom?

[@samuelssenkolooto7877]

How do they not bite your open fingers?

[@drahunter213]

The color of the abdomen is different as well is that common?

[@ohm.3768]

What happens if we throw the honey comb will they attack on you whether you have wore the suit will they hurt you ?

[@Enki1013]

Me: KZbin, you have anything different to watch tonight? KZbin: Recommended video of a guy putting his bare hands into a swarm of bees and finding the queen immediately for his bee box. Me: How does one identify the queen? Who says KZbin cannot be educational?

[@1031_Life]

Wow!!! I love bees!!

[@alexaspital1270]

I am on the bee course and learning about bees so I can be a beekeeper

[@se7ensnakes]

How come they dont sting your expose hand?

[@1gerger1]

bees are not aggressive, he is not a threat, he is actually quite invisible to him, only if he smacked the nest, would he be in BIG trouble,

[@se7ensnakes]

@@1gerger1 Bees are not aggressive? "Florida man stung 100 times trying to save dog from bees; dog dies" www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-ne-bees-viera-stung-100-times-20190403-story.html

[@se7ensnakes]

@@1gerger1 Also from personal experience I put down a flashlight at night and unbeknownst to me two bees were crawling around it. When I tried to pick up the flashlight I thought i touched a heated wire because it hurt only to find out that I had two stingers that I had to pull out.

[@LAGirl-hx7fo]

Very interesting

[@Dgriffiths33]

Fascinating! 🐝

[@peterlipman8211]

[@foundfoundfound1]

karl pilkington: bees don’t make good pets. get 12 bees, get the honey, then kick ‘em out.

[@ossaultvehicles1593]

I was redirected here from the search query "How to identify God".

[@tendenciees]

came here trying to look for the terraria boss

[@janderkin]

I was stung by a bee. It hurt.

[@phpprodesign]

very informative

[@creativewoodworker4300]

What do you mean by the term sworn.

[@yvonnewarrick6264]

The hive is too crowed, so old queen bring half of work bees with her -- leave the hive to find new location.

[@shubhamsharma641]

great

[@whoisbenjamin]

This was epic

[@LOADING...o.o.o]

What is the percentage of female and male in bee population? 50% 50% like human?

[@Cookieglue]

*facepalm The queen is the only female

[@Cookieglue]

I AM ACTUALLY SO SORRY THAT IS A LIE I AM STUPID!!!!! So basically all the drone bees are male bees. In contrast the worker bees are non-sexually mature female bees that aren't sexually mature as they aren't fed royal jelly their whole life (like the queen). So the ratio of males to females depends on the drone to worker+queen ratio.

[@PrairieRoseBitbyaFox]

I didn't know this! I also assumed the only female was the queen. What fascinating creatures these are! Thanks for doing your research and coming back to correct your original response!

[@yvonnewarrick6264]

Work bees are female too, only drones are male.

[@queenjiwon.768]

females are more than males because basically males are only used for mating with the queen and then they die. But that's not all the time!

[@ademzlotrg5769]

I went to Schoology my school and I got here

[@junaidtanoli1]

why i am watching this video.

[@oblak989]

You are a curious human being who uses brain.

[@JamesAH1]

Why am I here

[@deanidino7642]

One Queen per hive yet you believe 3 GODS run the world / Trinity

[@Jofinity]

No... not at all how that works.

[@unnurhlif9794]

The holy trinity is God, Jesus and the holy spirit which are all connected. Still just leaves you with one God 🙂
