Life of a Queen Bee

[@hattievillehoneybees3905]

You guys got lots of facts wrong in this video. Queens don’t make royal jelly, workers do. In fact all larvae are started off on royal jelly only the potential queens continue to receive it. The old queen almost alway leaves before the new queen emerges. While a colony will make new queens if the queen is failing most new queens are made because the colony is strong and thriving, that’s how they reproduce. And a good queen will not stay in a hive for 2-7 years. If she has a good colony in the spring she swarms and establish a new hive and leave her royal offspring behind. Queens take 16 days to develop and worker take 21. These are basic things you need to know to manage a beehive. I appreciate your attempt here and now encourage you to start a few hives of your own and join the wonderful world of beekeeping.

I read your informative comment instead of watching the video. Thanks!

[@wizardlyfrog]

this comment is spot on... but you can't leave out that newly emerged queen bees will sometimes "sing" murderous little honks.

[@idontSHT]

I was watching a video and it ended with queen leavening and taking 1000 bees with her. I wanna know what Happens next.. so she makes new queen, leaves and goes where? Can people cultivate new hive from the old queen and her 1000 workers? Or she goes wild and makes her new hive there? How long they live after they leave? Pls tell me more about.. when the new queen is born and old queen leaves the hive what does she do and how does her life continue, and how does she die ❤

When they say how she lays lots of eggs they show cells FILLED with eggs from a laying worker. LOL!

Hello Jeff. Thank you for your comment. You are absolutely right. In our defence we have been using stock footage available online and that was our only choice.

Thank you so much 😀

[@bobjacobson858]

Bees ALSO rear new queens if they are "planning" to swarm soon. When this is the case, the queen cells are usually built near the bottom of the comb. If a queen is failing as an egg-layer, then supersedure queen cells are built, typically on the side of the comb. Queen bees require 16 days to mature as adults from their cocoons after the eggs from which they developed have been laid, while workers require 21 days and drones require 24.

You show multiple eggs per cell in this video. This is wrong, that’s a laying worker problem, and the hive is probably doomed.

[@eliezergomescamargo6627]

Great video, but...many eggs, but only one laying per cell, in the image of the video, it is understood that several eggs are laid in the same cell... as a video of this quality can be didactic, it is important that the followers of this channel understand that a Queen will lay only one egg per cell...

As a beekeeper I'm astonished by the quantity of wrong information in this video.

[@manuhonkanen2111]

I am a starting keeper of the bees and the queen does not produse the royal jelly. For if she did produse it then the raising of the emergency queen in case of the absent of the original queen might be impossible!

[@insect2021]

신비롭구나

[@noahriding5780]

I'm a beekeeper in the US. I'm wondering if they've developed ways to determine chemical damage on the queens yet? How would someone work at this? If we could understand this I think we'd be able to get colonies to live longer, survive better. Thanks for your video. nice footage also with the camera close ups.

[@edinburghhoneyco.]

Hello Noah Thank you for your comment. Lets hope that in the future our bees will bee free of any chemicals. We wish all the best in the season to come and may the pollen bee with you.

[@That_Girl_7_11]

He says that the queen is injured or whatever and then the bees build a queen cell which an egg is then layed in,... eerrrr no.... if the queen is injured or not available to lay eggs and should the colony have eggs available to them they will then build a queen cell around that egg or eggs to create multiple queens to see who will emerge victorious to rule the colony. Where are they getting their information!!

[@TheNachoDaddy]

The larvae in the queen cells are fed by the current queen? I do not think this is correct. If the queen has died or swarmed, how would the remaining colony produce a new queen?

[@leandrobrava3969]

They will feed the larvae with "royal jelly" a highly sugary nutritious substance used in bee hive emergencies.

[@TheNachoDaddy]

@@leandrobrava3969 right, but it’s the worker (nurse) bees who feed the larvae, not the queen.

[@seandye658]

not true, there are laying workers if they are not able to make a queen. However at this point the colony is doomed without intervention.

[@hattievillehoneybees3905]

In fact one of the shots with multiple eggs in it is laying worker eggs. Queens do not do that. I have had this happen. It screws up a hive.

You can also select a different "playback speed" for KZbin to play the video at a slower speed, like 75% or 50% real speed. That might help you as well.
