Watch My New Queen Lay Eggs! -- Bee Vlog#8, 2018

[@jaredcordell]

I'm so happy that the queen was accepted! I'm excited for follow-up content.

[@yeshayaamichai1512]

So happy to be catching up with the progress of your bees. What's happening with your chickens? Btw... the Hard Times videos are great. Would love to see more Prison Ramen videos too. Hope you and the fam had a great 4th.

[@TheLicktysplitz]

Yeshaya Amichai I totally agree!!!

[@sdega315]

I love how you newbies' equipment is so clean! I have equipment older than my children (that's 20+years). The bees gum that stuff up with propolis like a mess. Everything is glued together.

[@HavootuKali]

Oh emmy what a beautiful moment you captured... Thankyou for sharing and congrats on your new hive!❤❤

[@TheLilyinc]

Never thought I would be so excited to see a bee lay eggs. What have you done to me Emmy?

[@oabuseer]

Same

[@siempreamor5149]

"I present to you Her Majesty The Queen!"

[@misscozza21]

I love watching the bees didnt know much about them till i started watching there videos

[@IrishMist640]

Blue Mama is gorgeous! What a treat watching her lay an egg...I was cheering. Yay!! (I'm now officially worried about my mental health.) 💕🐝💕

[@ejp3292000]

Such beautiful bees! ❤️ So glad there are still people that admire these lovely creatures 🐝

[@Janettemay64]

The blue queen seems to be much easier to see than your queen with the whit spot, I've been binge watching your journey with the bees from the beginning, absolutely fascinating. Bee keepers used to place hives by the truck load on our 200 acre property when certain wild flowers were out, they moved the hives at night, I used to stay well away, if we spotted a swarm the same beekeepers would come and collect it, I stood about 100 yds away to watch once and a couple of bees peeled off from the rest and targeted me to sting. You are so brave.

[@oabuseer]

They say that bees can sense whether you're a good person or not, and will treat you accordingly. Hope that's not true!

[@effy0990]

I adored watching this! I love these Bee videos and seeing how careful you are with them. These bees are living their best life with you as their keeper

[@KNPrince]

The Queen is doing her job and keeping the hive in order.. Well done Emmy.. Keep up the great work!!!

[@susancarr9955]

Thank you so much for keeping bees and helping to preserve them. Most people are not aware of the contribution bees make to us beyond providing honey for our tea and wax for our candles.

[@kyavner]

Looks like more of a "royal" blue 😉 get it? ROYAL... Cause she's a queen... Lol *groan*

[@jencrochetingradtech5913]

I’ve just found this channel and I’m so excited. My grandmother kept bees and I was always amazed by her. It’s lovely seeing you with the hives just like she did. Just the face/head protection and no gloves or anything. The queen bee was fabulous to see!! I’m thrilled. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do video wise😂

[@shanleyshoupe7873]

Wow! What good timing that we got to watch your queen lay!

[@chellagirl3664]

Yay!! I am glad they excepted the new queen! What a gorgeous blue mark on her. She will be much easier to spot. This is so exciting!

[@SamanthaDiane]

I've never been so excited about bees in my whole life. :) I present to you Her Majesty The Queen! ;)

[@nicolaa7390]

Great update emmy, you are doing a wonderful job keeping those bees happy 🐝

[@brynnrenee123]

Oh my gosh! How great! I bet you are a proud bee mama 😂 🐝

[@Iflie]

Haha, well that Queen doesn't care what way she is dangling, her job is going to get done.

[@Kuralai95]

"She's looking fat too" I don't why that made me chuckle 😝

[@ggcrochets]

Because it’s hilarious 😂

[@corriewells4309]

"I present to you her majesty my queen." So fun! Thanks for sharing.

[@jenene84]

I do love these bee vlogs. ☺️🐝

[@siempreamor5149]

Good evening Emmy, I hope you're having a wonderful day!

[@cookiesmith8545]

Beautiful video. Thank you so much for sharing that. Seeing her lay her eggs was wonderful. She is lovely!

[@emilyf8779]

I think I comment the same thing on every bee vlog but how cool!! I’d never see a queen bee lay eggs without these videos. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@kristaj428]

Poor pointless drone bees lol..😂😂😂😂

[@scottmoxie]

Thanks for keeping us updated 💛💛

[@deadlypetalsaqua5017]

Emmy saving the world 1 bee at a time 😄

[@babushkacat95]

Will more bees from the main, mature hive move to the new small one? Thank you for posting these updates on your bees. It’s really fascinating! I present to you, Her Majesty, the Queen! :)

[@LearnSciSnippets]

Glad it worked out. Go bees!

[@frankaguirre5741]

Amazing! Love that you were able to split your hive successfully!

[@joes4600]

Idk how I found these but I can't stop watching

[@JackW42]

“I present to you Her Majesty The Queen!” :P

[@dazamistwalker]

Well shoot-- you had the solution all along. Typically your main hive will make several queen cells on several frames. Just give one of those to the new hive. But your new queen looks like a real dandy!

[@kimberlysimmons9938]

I present to you Her Majesty the Queen! Queen Emmy of course as you are becoming a queen, in your own right, of beekeeping. Queen wasted no time making herself at home or rather at "hive".

[@Sirkingx]

awesome. we need more bee keepers.

[@jaredphillips9285]

Amazing! The Queen is bee-utiful!!

[@cirrusgamemaster1904]

Emmy, question: So from my understanding, the hive accepting the queen is pretty important. If the hive doesn't accept the queen, they will possibly kill her. But what about the queen? Will any queen lay for any hive as long as it accepts her? Are queens at all picky for which hive they will lay eggs for? Also, "I present to you Her Majesty The Queen!" :)

[@beeornottobee4507]

Hi from Belarus bee's forests! Great job! Keep up the good work!

[@FridayFrida]

Very interesting, I love following your bees! 🐝

[@TimoteoDeBaum]

Super neat channel! New subscriber Emmy ❤️ your bees are so cool to watch! Do you still have the chickens?

[@debg1810]

I present to you, Her Majesty the Queen! 🐝

[@gonzothegreat1317]

Hello Emmy, Are your bees color coded according to the year? White: years ending in 1 or 6 Yellow: 2 or 7 Red: 3 or 8 Green: 4 or 9 Blue: 5 or 0 It would mean your queen was born in 2015 and is now 3 years old. Queen bees can get 4 to 5 years old, but mostly they just last 3 years, until they get replaced by the bees or the beekeeper.

[@jacobthepanda3170]

I’ve become so fascinated with the whole process of beekeeping/apiculture watching all of your vlogs! I’d love to get into this one day if I ever get over my fear of venomous animals lol. This has led me to research more on bees and marking queens and different types of honey and all that jazz. I guess the new queen was born in 2015 since her marking is blue? I’m sure that will also be easier to spot than white. Will you also be marking your new queen from the old hive with red?

[@davidodonovan1699]

Hail queen bee. Sabathons song "Back in Control" (song about the Falklands war: Iron Lady Thatcher as prime minister and Queen Elisabeth the second on the throne at the time of the war. Hence perfect for the New Queens arrival...except that "Back in Control" suggests she's been there before. But Emmy can play the Iron Lady. No offense Emmy. Your the hive owner, you get the Iron Lady invisibility status. That's a complaint. Well done Emmy!

[@karenamanda1958]

Don’t worry, 🐝 happy 😁🌻

[@tomi1964]

I present to you her majesty the Queen!

[@bobateabunny]

"She's lookin F A T" 😂

[@VeronicaGonzalez-te4xu]

I love watching your bee videos. So informative and makes me want to bee keep one day

[@Victoriasm31]

Just when you think Emmy can't get any cuter... she adopts a stressed bee.

[@mariaraynor]

“ I present to you, Her Majesty, The Queen!” :) X

[@jenat82]

That blue colour seems better for spotting her than white. lol

[@sutourza581]

love the bee vlogs!

[@w.c.5173]

It's the queen! 👑👸yay!!

[@indigenouspotliquor3546]

It is so crazy how cold it is up there. Literally it was like almost a 100 down here today in SC

[@kristaj428]

Indigenous Policy Or 75 is not cold. But it is cool for summer.

[@HaleiwaGirl808]

So beautiful!!!

[@closetwarrior]

Yaaaas queen

[@GeeaRCee]

Did you buy the queen bee from her or the association? How much is a queen bee?

[@Thebonkinvestor]

very cute, i want all of them

[@strawberrymilk1683]

btw, you had chickens, right? how are they doing?

[@hootervillehoneybees8664]

That is one outstanding looking queen

[@chloem955]

Do they maybe not like the black plastic frames and so not building them out? Just a thought

[@JosieEllaFaith]

This is so exciting!! 😀😀

[@deborahchristmas8752]

Is that a Rose hive system?

[@anneweber-falk4165]

What is the difference in the black and wood tone racks?

[@Skincareslug]

Is the blue mark natural or man made marking?

[@shivi5561]

How do they not sting you OMG

[@ShikataGaNai100]

YAY!

[@Emilinethegemini]

Why are you uploading these videos so far from when you recorded them? Any specific reason?

[@purplesomeone]

Magic powers!

[@sundownerwhoopwhoop5016]

Feed your split to help them fill out and grow

[@shareen966]

She is bee-utiful x

[@mariecook7910]

Be a lot easier if you used a funnel when pouring your sugar syrup in.

[@Herbert04]

I was hoping you named a chicken Queen Hahahah.

[@emmymadeextras]

😂

[@deathrattle3]

The Blue queen! does she have a name?

[@juliescheibe6586]

Yay!!🎉 🩷🐝🩷

[@emmab8430]

WOAH

[@austinshaow8710]

How are your chickens

[@joelthompson6131]

Hi!

[@georgina979]

Why is the queen marked blue? Blue is usually 0,5

[@gonzothegreat1317]

It means she was born in 2015. She's pretty much at the end of her life now.

[@gonzothegreat1317]

Normally bees are color coded. That's what the OP meant. White: years ending in 1 or 6 Yellow: 2 or 7 Red: 3 or 8 Green: 4 or 9 Blue: 5 or 0 I guess she noticed that the queen was not a new queen. A queen marked this year should be color coded red. Unless of course they do not follow the international bee color coding and just paint their bees any color they want.

[@Kuralai95]

@@gonzothegreat1317 woah! I had no idea that bees can live that long!

[@gonzothegreat1317]

@@Kuralai95 Theoretically a queen bee can become 4 years old. Most of the time though beekeepers (or bees) will end their lifes at 2 years old. A three year old queen doesn't lay as much eggs as a younger one. A normal worker bee life lasts for approx.40 days when born in the summer and approx. 6-8 months if she was born just before winter. A drone will live just until it impregnates the queen or when it is kicked out of the hive by the worker bees somewhere at the end of August.

[@bwakel310]

Blue? What year is that?

[@gonzothegreat1317]

2015. It could also indicate 2010, but that would mean the queen is 8 years old, pretty much impossible, since their life span maxes out at 5 years old, probably less than that.

[@Ryan-yp4fc]

Why do the bees not try to sting your hands?

[@ChatsWithChris]

May 21st is my birthday!

[@ratpackcolorado]

[@omarrejopachi4583]

It's my birthday

[@mira5096]

I’m scared of bees

[@oneoldcurmudgeon403]

Queen bee, only one that's it is ok to say "looking fat".

[@123hurray4me]

Because I live in Ontario Canada, we go by Celsius instead of Fahrenheit. Where I live, our hottest day so far has been 44,45 degrees Celsius, which is hot (around 111 degrees F I believe). I'm trying to learn Fahrenheit. So I know around what temperature Emmy mentioned, whether it's hot or cool. So she said 74 F? That's low 20's in Celsius I believe. Or even 20 degrees Celsius exactly? I haven't looked it up to see if I'm right or anything, just guessing. Although, I'm sure it's easy to figure out, but I never learned Fahrenheit, always Celsius.

[@spookhouse3391]

74 is warm but not too bad
