Pulling the first round of queen cells, and reworking our queenless cell builders. 😎

[@georgehardee5470]

Us small time guys dream about that kind of acceptance! Great job!

[@JamesLeesBees]

Nice work- thanks for the demonstration...can almost smell the queens now!

[@MrJonb1984]

She just had to point that one out and burst your bubble. 😂

[@stevensbeeco767]

Of course! 🤣

[@kevinlyons919]

Coming right along!

[@tomahawkmissile241]

Great Job

[@jamesdavis3600]

Nice looking cells. I’m looking forward to getting my queens from you soon. The ones I got from you last year are really good layers and gentle.

[@jasonpowell4114]

You are the man! I believe your going to change the queen game for the better! Cant wait for my queens.

[@walterhiegel3020]

As you grow older marking dates gets more important. Those cells look terrific!

[@brucesbees]

Great stuff Cory. Interesting to see the process.

[@BucksBeesS.C.]

Nice cells

[@johnprice8343]

Great start to the year Cory ! 👏

[@brucesouthernsassapiaries8316]

Cory- looking good!!! I started scrubbing down my AI station and equipment this week (on a rainy day).

[@micheltanguay8569]

Great job they look real good thank you for sharing

[@Kapp_Bee_Co]

They are looking good!

[@brandensouders4747]

They look great.

[@skipsandvig8888]

Good success to you!

[@barryw4726]

grafted 20 on Sunday and checked them yesterday, 12 took. pretty good for my first time grafting and setting up my first cell builder. I am on your wait list, hoping you have plenty to get down to me. Would love to introduce your VHS traits into our NC area.

[@davidryle1164]

Cory, I can't tell if it's your mic setup or its just that your soft spoken, but could you please up the volume.

[@stevensbeeco767]

Got some wireless mics on order. Thanks David

[@larrynoe6276]

I just subscribed to your you tube channel and I am a backyard bee keeper in Tennessee near Knoxville. I seen a video that Bruce bees was showing some virgin queens he got from you and I am wondering what kind or kinds of bees you have?

[@stevensbeeco767]

They’re my own line of VSH selected bees I call Missouri Mite Hunters. They’re mostly Italianish.

[@jeffreyhoskins8955]

Great job Cory Have you thought about selling nucs in the future?

[@stevensbeeco767]

I have sold quite a few over the years. I’m hoarding them now since I’m expanding to go full time. I may sell more open mated nucs and II breeder nucs in the future.

[@farmer998]

can't wait

[@texasfriendlybeekeepers8210]

very cool...what model of frame holder is that Cory?

[@joelgillespie1412]

I noticed it looked nice too!

[@stevensbeeco767]

They’re the old Walter T Kelley frame grips. I love them. 😎

[@RoundRockFarm]

I’m looking at getting one of those foxhound bee jackets. What size are you wearing in the videos? And how do you like it?

[@stevensbeeco767]

Mine is a medium. I like it a lot. (The color, the zip open veil to get a drink, the Velcro adjustable cuffs) My only request is they would add a Velcro flap on the billow pockets. When I bend over to pick up stuff, the contents often bails.

[@RoundRockFarm]

@@stevensbeeco767 Thanks for the response. The sizing chart is saying I’m a large but I wear XL tshirts. Your medium looks pretty roomy so a large may work for me.

[@richardgriffis8916]

Hey how can I go about getting some of your Queens

[@jhookfishing4978]

Hey Cory was wondering when you add your second round of grafts do you add a frame of larva a day before to get the nurse bees to be able to produce royal jelly again or is it not a concern?

[@stevensbeeco767]

I don’t add any brood. There’s new nurse bees emerging for the next three weeks, and after that I retire them and split them with a queen cell or virgin.

[@BucksBeesS.C.]

What is the bee jacket you are useing?

[@stevensbeeco767]

We got some new jackets this year from Foxhound Bee Co

[@WildwoodsBeekeeping]

Looking good Cory, just emailed you

[@peterbolt76]

Will the queens emerge in the incubator in the cell protectors?

[@stevensbeeco767]

Yes. And we transfer them to candy cages asap.

[@burleybeeyard]

@@stevensbeeco767 with attendants ?

[@stevensbeeco767]

@@burleybeeyard I add attendants within 48 hrs.

[@tedjackson5272]

Is your incubator home made?

[@stevensbeeco767]

It’s a Dickeys cabinet Hatcher. Made by Dickey’s incubators in GA.

[@stephenstarner3171]

Any secret to reusing JZBZ cups.

[@stevensbeeco767]

I don’t reuse them. Some do, but the small sampling I did, the take wasn’t as high for some reason. Even if I have one miss and don’t have a $25 dollar virgin queen to sell, I can buy a lot of cups for that. Not worth the effort or labor to clean in my humble opinion.

[@johnolsen1192]

How do I get on your waiting list

[@stevensbeeco767]

You can go to the item in our web store and request a back in stock notification. When I add inventory, it will notify you immediately

[@decaturridgebees8761]

Cory gets 29/30……comes back with “its gonna be better next week”. That’s just rude!

[@stevensbeeco767]
