Alright everyone we got David to 100k
Now let's push him to 500k!
This is gold. Thank you David. I’m planning on making queens next year and this video gives me confidence that I can raise queens successfully.
Good to hear Edgar
I recently taught 2 honeybee classes to our homeschool co-op which, I was thrilled to see, were very well-received. The kids were so enthusiastic and asked wonderful questions and my kids got to feel like experts. Several of the parents told me they have long wanted to keep bees but feel intimidated by the idea. In all cases, I recommended they watch your channel this winter and learn as much as they can and to come out to my bee yard in the Spring. I was so glad to have such a wonderful resource to share. Only wish I had had your channel when I started. Thanks for helping me to continue to learn more and more about my wonderful bees. Merry Christmas!
Wow thank you so much
Much love for you David Burns.
David, you are so funny, I loved your coffee time!
When I was a little boy I cracked my head open twice on the coffee table so you're not alone David! Lol
Ouch!
Great timing, I look forward to the spring to try raising my own queens. Thanks Joe
You were doing great until you got to coffee time. I didn't have any coffee. Ho, ho, ho. I am really enjoying your queen rearing series. Thanks and Merry Christmas and Happy 2023! See you at hive life! Woohoo!
Great Job David! Thanks For sharing! Ive kept Bees for 4-3 years and you where the second Beekeeper I watched on TH-cam! Thanks! Have A Great Holiday Season! God bless!
Ty for all the time you spend to share your experiences.
Awesome info. An exultant advice.
Looking forward to more. 😊
Love the lesson and coffee time. All good advice and smiles.
EXCELLENT video, David! Start to finish. Very inspiring. Always appreciate coffee time 🙂.
Congrats on the 100k David. Thanks for all the work you do putting out these videos.
Who gets up on a Saturday morning and watches a DB queen rearing video? I mean before 7:30...before coffee...before the dew dries! I do. Because he likex bees. I like him even though I have done all those queen rearing things, he still motivates me. Thanks, DB.
Thank You for the holiday gathering advice.
Thank David. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you my friend. I'm grateful for all your help.
You to Brad
Appreciate the beekeeping and candid life advice, David! Congrats on the 100K. God Bless and Merry Christmas!
Thank you Chris
Been watching your online classes, I'm a slow learner but I think by spring I will be able to try rearing queens. Thanks for the videos and I'm enjoying the lessons.
Fascinating video
Thanks David, another gem. Happy Holidays to you and your dear ones! 🎄🎅🌟
Thanks Phyllis
Keep up the good work!
Great video!!
Thanks!
Well explained.👍
Thank you
I enjoyed the video this morning. It got me excited about doing your Queen Rearing course.
Awesome
Great video as usual
Thank you
Congrats 🎉 for ton of subscribers
Hi David, this is a timely discussion for me. I am watching as many Queen rearing videos as I can. I would like to make my bees as sustainable as possible. And a little income would help the off set of getting the cost of getting started. I got my first hives in 2019. Looking forward to seeing you at Hive Life
Hi David, really enjoy your work. i have just started out ( been doing this for a few months now) and have had a few scares.... queen related, like I've lost her/ killed/ died you name it, i thought it😅, this has got me thinking that i can do this and make my own queens!, and then i don't need to stress about what if and where am i going to find a queen if i lose/ etc, and don't worry i will be taking it a step at a time and making sure i have a strong colony before doing this. to coin your phrase...... "I'm super pumped!!" keep up the great work
Thank you! Glad you just started out
Thank you for another greatly appreciated video David! As someone who has retired, the problem is all the expenses you originally planned on have raised so much higher than you originally anticipated that I am looking for ways to supplement my pension. Queen rearing is definitely something I am interested in and will be getting into your course on it soon. Thank you again for all of your knowledge sharing and help.
Good luck!
Hi David, at 1:26 into your video you mention the queen will fly away about 1.5 miles to get away from her "brothers". I believe the drones from a queen's colony are actually her sons. Great videos and congrats on hitting your 100,000 mark! Well deserved! Dr. Joe
I like your observation but, I’m correct, because she is a virgin queen going out on a mating flight. Virgins do not have sons yet.
@@beek Well played sir! I stand corrected!
I dont mind at all being the Mean Old Poppy
Hi boss, I am your new subscriber.
Thank you so much for subscribing! Enjoy the videos!
Thank you for another great video.
In regards t Queen raising, after mating gov many proximately will return? I know there can be birds picking them up.
What do you feed the nurse bees so they can feed the queens?
you mention this free booklet but I can't seem to find it ? Thanks for the great content
great help video. appreciate it. one question, what do you do with starter hive after removing queen frame after 36 hrs
Download my Free queen rearing book, please. Links is in the description.
I would like to ask a follow up question that I dont see any Credible beekeepers talking about.
I have heard it said in passing that for people in the northern climates, Heating the hive at 15C, can help your Bee's through the winter.
I would love to hear your opinions on that.
Heating it to 15C (59 F) would bring it above the cluster temperature when would cause the bees to be extremely active, increasing their demand for food.
BTW love your energy
David what about temperature and humidity when doing this?
What are good things to plant for bees an honey production?
All depends where you live. Yard clover such as Dutch clover always wins.
If I want to requeen a hive and replace the queen with a capped queen cell, will that also act as a brood break to assist with mite control?
Indeed
Hi David. I really appreciate your videos, especially this one. Question: what do you do with your surplus of queens not sold or used by you?
I bank them, or hold them in mating nucs. In a future video I’ll explain this in greater detail. Keep watching.
David, have you used queen bee roller cages when finishing queen rearing to capture the queen in case she emerges before you move them to a mating nuc or other hive? It looks like a bit of insurance…
Yup we do
Curious why a Queen excluder is needed if you move the cups before new queens emerge.
If you didn’t the current queen would sting and kill them all.
@@beek thank you for the explanation. I did not realize she would go after them that early. Thank you for all you do!
How do you put the soon-to-emerge queen into her new box? How do you glue it to a frame?
Future video or download the free book in the description on queen rearing.
I wouldn't want to rely on beekeeping as an income with British summers
Hi David enjoyed the video !
How long can you bank qeens ?
Can you tell us how to set up a mating box ? A Nuc with these cells.
I explain all of this in my free queen book, free digital download, the link is in the description.
Good morning David. Thanks for your informative videos. I grew up keeping ants; how different do you think bee keeping would be?
😃 Big difference between ants and bees. But I bet you can apply some same principles.
Making queens sounds great and candles, honey, lip balm and all the other great things beekeepers can create. The real problem is finding enough customers to buy everything you have worked hard creating?
Once you have a strong internet presence it is overwhelming.
Very informative but I have a question. If I have 50 or 69 queen cells what do I do with them? Do I need 50 or 60 2 frame nuks to get them mated? How do I get them mated to sell?
Yes, you need individual mating nucs unless you are placing them in nucs, splits or hives. They mate on their own, you just have to wait a couple of weeks to ensure they mated and are laying.
@@beek thank you
David just wondering do you keep the queens separated after they come back from their meeting flight and how do you keep them separated Charlie PA
Future video or download my free queen book
@@beek very good. Looking forward to them great video. Enjoy watching. Charlie PA.
The know it all's are why I don't care for clubs. Half the time they run the group. Find yourself a good mentor to follow one on one !
This video seems to be on Queens rather than on a career change.
I don't have enough hives to make the required mating nucs
That's usually the bottle neck
I definitely want to raise queens to sell in Nucs… I will need a mating NUC for every queen I graft?
Yes, we sometimes use queen castles where you can raise 3 queens in one deep.
I have been watching different TH-cam videos about Beekeeping And I was thinking about getting my very first colony but am not sure how many colony to start with. How many Colony should start with ?
Two, 2!! Always start with atleast two. If you start with 2 and 1 perishes, you are still a beekeeper. If you start with 1 and it perishes or absconds, then you are no longer a beekeeper.
@@beek thanks much
How are you packing and selling the queens and is there some kind of guarantee
In my queen rearing course I go into more detail about how we pack and ship our queens. I believe I came up with the way to keep them healthy during shipment BUT I only have shipped my queens overnight. Early in my career I shipped them through the postal service but often that placed the queen in hot trucks for 6 days. To me, that is terrible and so I only ship overnight. UPS does not cover a lost queen in shipment so I just have to eat it and send out a replacement once the customer sends back the dead queen.
You can always tell the farmers that don't know the difference between a tractor and a plow. They use roundup to kill weeds in there crop.
Whats the rest of your shirt say?
Why not use the starter hive to do the fin7shing?
Not enough bees therefore not enough royal jelly
You can use your cell builder/starter as a finisher as long as there are enough nurse bees in there
I use a ten frame cell builder/finisher
You just pack it full of bees and feed!
Just make sure you pull your queen cells and make your splits 10-12 days after you graft, if you wait much longer than that you might have a bunch of queen cells tore down.
DO I have to be licenced and certified for raising and selling Queens?
Check with your state or local governing body.
