The key to queen rearing is P Prior preparation prevents piss poor performance You will need a fairly strong colony and a flow with pollen to rear good quality queens (or mimic with sugar and sub) not ideal though.
As always, love the information and the simplicity of how you present it. Am planning to start raising some queens next spring. Roll Tide Kamon! Aug 31 is right around the corner.
Great video, Kamon. Love to try raising a few queens. Looks SO Very interesting, but I only keep 3-4 hives per season, up here in PA. Wouldn't know what to do with extra queens, other than re-queen my hive, but what to do with left-overs, if I had them? I don't want to get into selling at my age. You guys are Lively people. I would love to have you as Neighbors!
Thank you Kamon, great info and easy to understand. How did you manage to put a frame over your head like that and not get a swarm land on you with your luck LOL
Hi Kamon. I enjoy the dynamics of raising queens. You give great insight on the process. Q. I have two virgin queens that will emerge in a few days. I'm concerned about drone population. Unfortunately iv been been selecting optimal combs for rearing worker bees only. Very little comb for drone rearing and I haven't seen any any drones buzzing around. Should this be an issue on mating? Could you expound on the process of queen mating in mid July? I'm in eastern NC. Thanks.
Kamon, you and the fam are great! Thanks again for another fun informative video. Is there a book you would recommend for making queens? Keep up the great work:)
How do I know there are plenty of drones if I want to try to make a couple queens? I’ve been told that the drones in my one large hive won’t breed within the same colony to keep from inbreeding? Is that true or can I do it as long as I see drones in my hive??
When we add royal jelly we use it for grafts right away. It spoils very quickly. If you collect it for later use it will have to be frozen or refrigerated. Let me know if I misunderstood your question

For me the most important tool is a great cell starter/builder. The rest is easy. Great video!
That is very true. Had several people ask what tools they needed so I made this so I could just link it from here on out.

I'm from PA too raise queens myself :)

No monkeys, but I did see a kitty climbing a raspberry bush once.

Larry conners queen rearing essentials is the best I know of. He is easy to understand and the pictures are excellent.
Enjoy your videos. What happens when you raise to many queens? Can you store them somehow? Or do you have to find a home for them?
You can bank them for a short while but they need to be used or sold fairly quickly in my opinion.
Do you need to use a full size frame for the queen cups?
Is there a reason like easier cleaning or stop them hanging comb from the bottom etc?
Looked like your wife crowned you with a frame!
Click bait! I thought we were going to meet the Mrs, Lol.

when you get royal jelly out of a known queen cell how long is the royal jelly good for in a cell that you are making a queen?
When we add royal jelly we use it for grafts right away. It spoils very quickly. If you collect it for later use it will have to be frozen or refrigerated. Let me know if I misunderstood your question
@@kamonreynolds gotcha! didnt know you could freeze it!....sounds like a great in doing grafts. --thanks!
Try Turkey feather.. You will shocked..
Don't know if this is big enough for what you want. BLOEM Watering Can, Red Plastic, 2-Gals. 210596
This can I found at True Value Store
1 queen per mating nuc correct?
