    Great info. I’m confused you said not to flip upside down but when you put in the hive did they not get turned upside down? I may have misunderstood how you were inserting the graft initially. Ty

    • @kiqueenbees
      @kiqueenbees 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      He's talking about the larvae being inserted onto the bottom of the plastic cell. Slide the end of the tool under the larvae, lift, and push the larvae onto the bottom of the plastic cell. The larvae stays with the royal jelly, and is still on top, as seen originally in the comb.

  • @fishmut
    @fishmut 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I swear you had 2 queens in that hive , one walked from the centre out to the right top corner direction and the one in the centre you zoomed in on . Lol my bad she back tracked ,didn’t notice it till after a couple of looks at it. Awesome videos btw . I like the way other bee keepers work with their hives,there is always something we can learn from one another no matter how long we been beekeeping.

  • @fishmut
    @fishmut 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have seen a few grafting videos , yours has the best footage of up close with larva and very clear of what they look like and actually getting them out of the cells , only a question probably many ask is why their take is not as good as it should be , seeing your larvae on what you picked out for the cells yet still approximately 50% take so that million dollar question why they didn’t accept the others has me stumped. Awesome video this one , 👍

  • @beekeeper7535
    @beekeeper7535 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've been a bee keeper for a little over 25 years I've never made my own queens I've always bought queens. I rent for pollination so I ain't got much time to make queens. Nowadays the bees have mites and beetles to deal with years ago an old bee keeper told me start running Russians they can deal with mites and beetle better than any bee. He was right. Also Russian bees tent to survive winter much better than any bee. But they are alot more aggressive. Of course I rent for pollination that alone can stress a hive. Making my own queens would have saved me THOUSANDS of dollars. Any just getting into bee keeping I suggest Russians to many times a new bee keeper with purchase everything needed and the bee die over winter or from mites and discourage the new keeper. Russians also produce more honey. I can definitely see why a easy going bee is easier to work with while grafting.

  • @tingzky
    @tingzky 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have a couple of questions How long does it take to emerge from the cell? Do we need to keep in a hive until it fully get matured?

    • @brandonsbees1
      @brandonsbees1 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      From egg laid to hatching it takes 16 days for the queen to emerge on average. We graft when they go from egg to larvae around the 3- or 4-day mark so for me on average it takes 13 or 12 days for them to emerge after grafting. I keep my queen cells in individual roll cages in an incubator until they are about to emerge. If you keep them in the hive, I recommend something to keep them separated in case one emerges early and tries to get rid of the rest of your cells!

    One question on my mind is that the direction of the queen cell is towards the gravity (surface), the developing larvae that are grafted will not fell down ??

    • @brandonsbees1
      @brandonsbees1 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good idea/ point but the cup is face down in order for the bees to draw it out. Im not sure why they do it that way but a queen cell going down vertically is how they make queen cells!
