Lol. That's such a perfect way to describe the situation *choose your own adventure! This year we felt like it was musical hives with queen making and swarming. There was always plenty enough room. Experience can be a painful but effective teacher. We still have 10 thriving hives somehow. Thank you for sharing this reaffirming and insightful information.
Hah! It is and you really have to let go of the idea that you can fix every "problem". We're here to help, not prevent anything bad from ever happening to them. Best of luck with your bees! I like your lava photo :)
"Luckily I'm not a bee." LOL! Love your videos! I'm an amateur beekeeper and have been a fan of yours for six months now. Thanks for the understandable flow chart and talking me through queen bees.
Thanks! I was thinking back to last week when my 4-year-old son called me "mean" while talking to his 18-month-old sister. LOL If I were a bee, I think my children would have replaced me a long time ago :)
I had not thought of that about turning the frame up side down. It makes sense, you could dislodge or alter how the queen was laying in the jelly. 👍Thank you very much, I will remember that and pass it on.😁
Thank you. Simply excellent. Could you do a video on what to do if a hive seems to be dying? ... that is, with a few wax moth and more hive beetles than normal in it but with still enough bees for it to survive?
Definitely only one of the children! very 'Romanesk' 👍😊🤔 Good job on everything your enjoyable to watch and easy to learn from, Im a beginner and just adding another deep box on the 3rd week after install of 2 packages w/mated Queens. so far so good. Mainland-Chicago Western burbs
I had 15 cells in 1 hive after she left. I tried to move 13 but it was to hot and the cells collapsed when trying to remove them from the foundation. Glad I left the 2 cells for that hive. Now I keep 3 nuc's on hand in case I need a queen. If I don't need them or want another big hive there is usually someone that will take bees.
When I first started queen breeding, I tried to cut out the queen cells and put them in a bunch of nucs I made. It did not go well. They looked ok when I moved them, but none of them hatched and successfully mated. And I wasn't even using foundation. Have you ever tried grafting? It can be kind of fun to try if you ever want to make a bunch of hives for yourself or to sell. Those queen cells are much easier to distribute.
You should check out my last video about how to split a hive - th-cam.com/video/oNWRAHpsL1Q/w-d-xo.html If you have trouble finding the queen, get a pen to mark her. Once she's marked, spend one inspection looking for her. Use as little smoke as you can because that can encourage her to hide. Once you find her, put queen excluders on the hive to keep her in one box. Then, the next day do your split and it should be a lot easier to find her knowing what box she's in.

Thank you! I will add it to my list of video topics to work on. Thank you for the suggestion.
Sreća je da postoje ili bi trebale da postoje neke razlike između ljudskog i životinjskog društva. Granice možda nisu bitne? D.

Thank you!
Love watching your show and I am concerned about how you are doing. Don't know which island you are on so I hope you are OK! 😢
I am ok. Thank you for asking. I am on the Big Island, but far from the fires.
New nuc only a week in the new home. I think I have a queen cell, what should I do? Summer time in Fl.
Are you and your bees safe over there?? I am in South Africa and have seen the fires going on over there. Please let us know thank you.🙏
We are ok. Thank you for asking. It was so terrible what happened on Maui.
Can you put a bot queen in a split hive?
Very detailed good videos
Glad you liked it

good job
I'm just looking to split my first hive I'm thinking of a walk away split but worried about not being able to find the Queen
