My man wasn't joking when he said he liked to play with wax. I want to try this now.
Congrats on making 100K subscribers, glad to be one of them!
Thank you Kevin, and so glad to have you as a subscriber making this possible. I still can't get over it. Been trying to reach this milestone for so many years, it's hard to comprehend.
Thank you for putting this out for new beekeepers. My first 3 colonies are almost a year old and I want to start expanding, this video has me considering raising queens now.
I love your videos. I always learn from you. My wife and I love your book too. Thanks David.
Great Job David! God bless you and God bless your bees!
Awesome stuff! Every way to add value is great. Maybe this year I'll try it out after learning more... that is, as long as I get through the winter with live bees in the spring. And thank you so much for the link to the book!
I’m going to try to raise some queens this year. Thanks for all information that you give your fellow beekeepers. Very good instructions for any anything to do with bees. Thanks again.
Thank you David!
Thank you David. I am hoping to graft queens this coming year. This video really helped.
Amazing!! Thank you for your knowledge!
Wow thats really cool. Very Nice. Good luck with new Hive Thanks for sharing 👍
That looks like it would work better than plastic, all natural kind of thing. Very resourceful!!
Great video David. When I first got into beekeeping I didn't want to do queen rearing. Now, after seeing how it's done I think it's fascinating and I want to try it.
Try it, it's great. My queen rearing course will walk you though it. www.honeybeesonline.com/online-queen-rearing-course-online/
Hi David, another great video.
After 4 yrs I have yet to try grafting; I let the bees do the work, I manage my hives to be swarmy and use the swarm cells. Your wax cup device may be the impetus to try grafting next year. 🐝
Our pear trees are in bloom in Baldwin IL. The bees are so happy!!!!
Thank you for the genuine and smart information. God Bless You.
So nice of you
Think I will give the wax cups a try. Always room for new growth. Thanks for the idea, I had been looking at the jzbz, like the wax idea. Time to build a queen cell frame and bars this winter.
David, Just great information. I'm slowly getting into this and will be checking out your web site in more detail. Thank you for the information on this hobby.
Good to hear Rick.
Thanks!
Thank you soooo much Mark!!
Great information about beekeepers, i am frm India and a beekeeper ,
I painted on unprocessed honeycomb with the honey mixed in that I first torched to a boil with propane and the bees don't seem to like it. I thought they wouldn't mind or could eat the sucrose mixed in, but they don't build comb that spreads across the foundation instead they build perpendicular comb that sticks out from the frames.
Also i'm going to try rearing Queens next year with acorn shells, sewing thimbles, and rubber fingertip protectors.
Thank you so much for the vid, next time I will try purewax instead for painting frames. This year has kind of been wasted because the deep box never really got going because I have to keep scraping the wonky comb off of frames 1,2,9 and 10.
Thank you for the free download, I’m so excited to try raising my own queens next year and cannot wait to go through the booklet. Also, I’m kicking myself for not taking advantage of your Black Friday sale on your courses. Ugh!!
The queen rearing course is less than the price of one queen shipped overnight. 🐝
Very interesting 🧐🙂.... gives me ideas on what to do next...
Glad to be inspiring.
Though time' for Indian beekeepers
I have a video idea for you, something I’d like to see myself. I wonder if painting on the wax is preferred by the bees over “coloring/rubbing” extra wax on with a wax block. I’ve tried both methods and the wax block is definitely less messy, but haven’t experimented to see which is better. I’d be curious to see the outcome.
I've tried both, but like I said, I like playing with hot wax. But, to me, rubbing it on was not as effective at all.
Queen Cups!! 🙌🏻
yaaassss Queen 👑 🤣🤣
Hi David from se oh . Love the queen cell device that's awesome,. I'm not nor want to git into religion .
My best friend/ brother is catholic he was excited I was starting to raise bees ,due to they want wax for candles.
I guess the way in the church is that the wax is made by virgin bees .
So I'm gonna do my best help all the folks out .
Thanks as always ol bud
I spray my plastic foundation with Propolis tincture , They love it. I did a comparison of wax vs propolis and there was no difference except for the color, the propolis was slightly orange. I have a play list on my channel if you are interested.
No. Most beekeepers are concerned about Neonicotinoids that farmers use as in insecticide. They are a new class of insecticides chemically related to nicotine in tobacco, so no I would not recommend that.
After extraction, how far from the hives do you put the frames for the bees to clean the leftover honey? I don’t want to cause robbing. Thanks in advance for the help?!!
So in order for the bee's to be able to produce wax to "cap" honey, they require 12-14 day old bee's?
Thx,
DS
I'm sure by the time I get to my Hive
i next year I will have to start all over again Do I need to do anything with the hive next year or can I just start with a new nook?
What diameter are the rods on the board for the queen cups
Hello sir. I’m a second generation Beekeeper not a Queenkeeper. I work very hard making honey to be sold in FM. Now I do this with love for 7 years or so. The income is not sufficient to cover all the expenses and I do all the wood inventory myself. I was thinking to quit. I’m from Romania and we keep bees from 1986 with good and bad. I’m located in N Texas and I have to try to be Queen Keeper. Thank you 🙏 and I will try to educate myself in this regard. Mary Christmas.
Very nice to hear your story
My interest is peaked.
Cool, I think you would find queen rearing enjoyable.
Do you have a diagram for the queen board
David, is there any risk to pass disease to your hive from wax from another hive?
I suppose there is a possibility. If a hive had a brood disease I would not use that wax.
That's a good question!
@@beek I am concerned about buying wax from someone I don’t know. Another question, is there a problem if propolis is melted in with the comb wax?
There is likely a small amount of propolis in wax, it just gets tracked around a bit.
What size dowel rod?
Dave good day to you. Question I would love to know the diameter of the dowl rod. To make that queen cup tool
.370 inch
Thank you, sir. I just ordered a set of 5 Chinese grafting tools from E-bay. I appreciate you explained how it works with that release push. Was wondering if the man who made your larvae frame would made any to sell?
He is my father n law and he is in his upper 80s. I told him at Christmas that everyone wanted one, but he was not interested. I am going to make some and give them away on my upcoming videos so keep watching.
@@beek Awesome, hope I can get one. :)
Do you have the ends tapered, if so how much would you do. I just purchased your online courses and I want to try rearing queens. Love the classes , thanks for taking time to do them.
Yes, Danny they are tapered and IT IS IMPORTANT that they are flat on the bottom to make grafting easier. How much are they tapered, just observe the taper in the video because it doesn't have to be perfect.
Okay thanks I'll see what happens.
Hi David, checking in from Mobile Alabama. Are the brood emerging in December of winter physiology? If so, when do the workers begin emerging as spring bees?
Thanks
Can't answer from science, but it appears to me that about the time they start raising drones is about the time they start raising spring bees that only live 35 days.
Thank you David. What is the diameter of the dowels? Thank you :-)
.370 inch
David what size of dials did you use?
.370 inch
Great Video, what size dowel rod do you use to make the Queen cups?
Right around .370 of an inch
Ok thank you. I'm off to change out/check the WINTER BE KINDS we have on our have 9 hives. Before the BIG SNOW comes. Thank you for the Free book.
David, What is the diameter of the dowels?
.370 inch
I use wax instead of the plastic. Should I switch to this method
Stay with whatever is working
Naive and maybe silly question. Has anyone thought about making a negative 3d printer mould where you can just pour the wax over. I would assume it would be the exact dimensions of the starter. That way the bees won’t need to do much work, hence faster honey production.
What size are the dowels?
.370 inch
Thanks very much :)
Wax on the zip of your bee suit will keep it running smooth 😉
Yes, great tip
OK, but what diameter dowel do you use?
.370 of an inch
Are you coating wax or plastic foundation?
No need to coat wax on wax, though it might help, but certainly plastic.
@@beeki thought it was plastic, just checking! Warm wax would most likely deform wax foundation.
Myth buster: if the bees stop producing wax at a certain age and a swarm takes the old bees with the old queen, how does the swarm build comb? 🤔
Only the queen is the original "old", mated queen. Studies of swarm age bees are very young bees, ready to make wax. Also, bees can always reactivate glands, but just not as good.
What was the secret to making more honey?
Coating your undrawn frames with extra wax, they draw out the frames faster.
Was that your TH-cam x100K Subscription 🏆 Trophy there, your early Christmas Gift 🎁 ? Nice. 👍
Congratulations to you both. 😎

Tip :
I would be careful Heating Wax direct over an Element (even in a Heated Electric Pan) as Wax can catch Fire easily.🔥
I would suggest a Bain Marie System :where Water between the Heat Source & that of the Melting Wax, makes Wax Melting much safer ! 🙄 Thrift Store Crockpots, with another Deep Container (eg Recycle a Coffee Can) means you can melt your Cappings easily and safely.
Add Water to that Crockpot, get Hot, add the Second inner Container with Dry Wax only, and watch that second Pot melt. It also means you can lift and pour the Melted Wax easily. To add back to the heat bath, to re-warm cooling Wax. Simples ! 👍
David, have you tried making your own Foundation Strips of Wax ? I got a Wax Comb Press Set (Sheets x2 Silicon, a Top Sheet you lower onto the lower Base Sheet.)
Each sheet gives the DIY made Foundation Worker Cells on both sides ! (And, or you can Roll these Warm Wax Sheets, to make 'Au Natural' Comb Candles. Do remember to add a long Wick, at the inner End of that Wax, before you roll up that Sheet ! Bees Wax smells amazing... 🥰
By creating your own Foundation also means, it makes Chemical and Virus Free Wax Comb.... from your own collected Wax Cappings ! 🤗
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Enjoy your Bees Wax, for maybe making Homemade Christmas Candles 🕯🎄 🕯

Ho ho ho... 🎅
Not the official Silver Play button from TH-cam, that is being shipped. Sheri got me this one.
@@beek
Sure the Sheri version is cherished more than the Silver one (pending!) 😎
Have you a prominent large Mantlepiece to place your Gongs on, as well as Stockings for Santa ? 🎅
I am think about where to place it, but I do love Sheri's for sure.
The audio on the right channel for this video is absent
I do hear more in the right than the left for me. Thanks for letting me know.
If the bees only produce wax between the age of 12 to 17 days old, explain then how swarms are able to build an entirely new hive of naturally draw comb?
You telling me that those bees that swarm with the queen are only a couple weeks old at the most?
Absolutely! Dr. Tom Seeley documented this in his studies. The swarm as various age bees, but primarily young, wax producing bees.
Just a reminder to check regulations where you are before you embark on a queen-rearing business plan, where I live, you can't just sell bees, nucs, queens or used equipment the way you can sell honey, here you need permits and inspections.
Yup, same here in Illinois.
What does this have to do with making honey ? Why is this titled honey making?
Because, I show how you can add wax to comb and they draw out the comb faster and the faster the honey super comb is drawn out the faster they can fill them up with more honey.
