- Beekeeping involves many ways to raise queens and one way only involves using one hive for both a starter hive and a finishing hive. In This video I'll explain this method of queen rearing.

Whoa, you made it all the way down here! Thank you ♥️ Love you
I learned this method from Tiim Brod in Boulder Colorado about 6 years ago. It works great and is very equipment efficient. The only thing I would add is to put a foundation frame in there also as the nurse bees will want to build a lot of wax. If you don't have somewhere for them to build they will fill in your grafting frame very quickly. Sometimes they do that any way. Thanks for the content Dave! (You have a very good name btw)
Great tip!
thanks for the great Info. You make the best videos. This is my 7th season and I still learn a lot from your videos.
Good job David! This is a great way to raise queens, good stuff
So knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing this.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic video and advice. Really appreciate what you're doing on your channel.
I appreciate that!
Thank you! Good Job David! 😊😊👍👍
Thank you! 😃
Love the shirt, this is also in Australia, and I am also trying to get it started in New Zealand, baby steps at this stage........bee keeping is great therapy
Good to hear Dan
Great video was looking forward to seeing this. Thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent tutorial! Just to clarify for some folks. When you say: "On Day 13 - remove queen cells.", you're referring to 13 days from the eggs being laid which is really only 10 days from when the grafting was done. (If you wait 13 days from grafting the larvae the first queen may have already hatched and gone around and killed the yet to hatch queens.)
Yup
I'm gonna raise some queens this year. I think I might use this method because it seems simple. Thanks for the great content David!
You can do it!
Have I got a couple of tips for you.
Make a Cloake Board with a Hive doctor queen excluder that has a "gated plastic rim". Turn the excluder upside down and have the gate at the back on the bottom. Now you don't need to turn that heavy box around just block off the front entrance and when you need to open the gate at the back of the cloake board.
2nd tip,
3 days before you want to start stick a queen excluder between the 2 brood boxes, when your ready to go the box with eggs in it has the queen, you don't need to find her just put her box on the bottom if it wasn't there already.
Now you have a system that couldn't be easier.
Yikes, that's overwhelming....I'll have to think through this.
@@beek Its not overwhelming, you still use the slide in the normal way you just have an easy to use back door for the bottom box built into the cloake board.
Love the shirt!
I'm going to sign up for mentoring. I could prob do same thing with top bar hives. Just wish mating nucs weren't so pricey.
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure
I'm glad that you are getting back into the queen rearing content! If you end up with too many queens, what do you do with the extras?
I've never had that problem. But you could let your clubs know you have extras.
Mr. Burns,
I bought a cloake board after watching this video. I cannot find out how late in the year I can raise queen bees in Northeast Texas.
Can you tell me the temperature range? I know the hive rids themselves of drones at some point.
Thanks!!
Like your shirt!

Greetings from Bulgaria. Great videos and useful info. Thank you! From where I can find the book "Rising quality queens"?
Thanks for watching. Here is the link to the book: www.uaex.uada.edu/publications/PDF/MP518.pdf
Hello from British Columbia, Canada! I understand the importance of being able to raise queens and see the value in it, BUT if I live in a rural area with few other people keeping bees, am I risking virgin queens mating only with drones from her own colony? Can this have a negative effect down the line? Thanks David!
Dave, I love the shirt, as a beekeeper and very. Where can I find this?
PS love the content. I learn more every video.
Thank you for your service. Here is the link to their website. Sure they sell the shirts there: www.hivesforheroes.com/
Any plans for a video about using the Morris Board? Same idea as Cloake Board but easier to use.
Maybe, good idea.
Hey David I was wondering if you should put vaseline in the guides that your metal goes in to help minimize the propolis build up
I'm uneasy placing a petroleum based product in the hive. But I have had it a little tough to get out, but just takes more of a pull.
Hi David. I see the miniature bee box on the desk. Can you tell me where I can get one of those?
Yes, here is the link: thecastlehives.com/products/3d-printed-model-hive
If they don't feed bee bread to queen larvae, why do you need so much pollen?
To feed the nurse bees so they produce lots of royal jelly
Hi David,
Thank you for your energetic and informative videos.
Would this method work well for forcing the bees to think that they are Queenless and raise their own Queen cells that we could harvest? (Of course making sure you have the proper age lave in the upper box) Instead of grafting and doing all that basically skipping a step the human has to do? If so is their benefits to them raising queens that we humans set up?
Yes it should. Try it and see.
David, why wouldn't you wait 24 hrs between installing the graft frame and removing the cloak board?
I could but a greater chance they will have more queen cells.
Do you guys have any large bee farms
Great method.
How well would this work with an 8 frame?
Same as 10 frame as long as you use an 8 frame Cloake board
This seems similar to using a double screen (Snelgrove) board methods. Any advantages of this Cloak board over the Snelgrove board? Thanks David.
Definitely different methods and Snelgrove/double screen presents more options.
I'm a vet and tried to join the hives for heros facebook group once and they denied me.
Won't the nurse bees coming up throu the excluder have the queen's pheromones and not be inclined to make queen cells?
Remember, you use the metal and way 6-12 hours so the pheromones don't come up through.
I'm a little bit confused. At 2:08 in the video you say to "Transfer open brood to the top box." Also, at 2:27 you advise us to "Get as much larvae showing brood over here to the top box." Then later, at 6:39 in the video you tell us that "Open larvae will be in competition with your grafts for the royal jelly. So move out frames with open larvae to other colonies. Replace them with maybe capped brood or something." Well then, my question is: Why move the "open brood" (larvae) into the top box to begin with? This is a bit confusing to my little brain. Thank you. 😣
Cloake boards are a bit different and can be confusing.
Again can I feed my honey to my bees
Hi Bob, it could be fine unless AFB spores could be in the honey.
I think the queen rearing pdf isn't working. Must have flooded it with download requests.
I spoke too soon, just got it.
Glad you got it
