Nice easy going, informative, useful video, highlighting the importance of keeping the brood warm (35c!). Looks like a Langstroth double brood box.......

By splitting pre swarm intent evidencing how can you ever know if you have a supercedure strain to nurture?

Sending thanks from northern Utah!

Just curious why you would make a nuke that strong and put Queen in it that nuke will be ready to split or swarm on you in less than 2 weeks probably. I wouldn't have put more than two frames a piece into myself and I would definitely put it empty frame to give them something to do you're just asking for that nuke to swarm on you.

great video

Hi! So I understand…if I want to keep my queen can I take out 3 brood and 2 honey frames that will make their own queen? And if I can do that do I need to keep the queenless split trapped inside the nuc for a few days? I have to do this in the spring and I’m so nervous about it!!!

like the lid on knee method for shaking a frame👍🏼👍🏼

Do you expect to get a honey harvest from the old hive you pulled from or does it go back into building and establishing mode?

What state are you in? I'm in Virginia so I'm learning what the temp impacts are and you reference dates but not local weather.

Kirsten has a wealth of knowledge on honey bees

What do you do with the wax and drone larva? Does it go in the garbage or the wax melter?

Very good video.I too am a beekeeper in India.Is it Italian bees.We have another variety called Apis cerana indica.and stingless bees.

Thank you so much!!

Nice video. There were 9 frames of brood in the double deep that you split, you took out 3 so left 6, 5 in the bottom 1 in the top...? With an introduced queen, will the original hive still produce a good crop of honey? This is my second year and my hive looks slightly stronger than the one you showed, Would just removing the brood (cut down split) in this case also work?

If they drew it as drone comb once, are they going to do the same again? I gave my bees some foundationless frames a while back, now I have at least two frames full of nothing but drone comb. I'd much rather they make worker brood next time. Suggestions?
