- Honey bee frame with five queen cells using the emergency method. First queen emerged on Day 1 and I moved her before she killed the others. This video shows the 2nd queen and how she killed the 3rd one.
"She wasn't ready to go. She's half-baked"
I don't know why I found that funny but it made me laugh
Me too!

That last bee was some real shit, genuinely looked like that worker had put everything into that queen bee or something.
thats exactly what I was thinking, I feel like he was who nourished her and cared for her and helped her emerge and he seemed so devastated that she died😭
Bees aren't that sentimental. She (workers are female) was dragging the queen away so there wasn't a dead body polluting the hive.
LOPLOL
Glad I am not the only one who thinks like this.
7:30 Her one true loyal subject, next to her until the bitter end
Pretty sure she's just dragging her corpse away to prevent infection.
lux is in the grocery store!
FortWhenTeaThyme the the. the other side. the other side
Lerh CCIE Must be some good crack you got there.
Lmao it's like what he say "not on my lawn"
Bees are so strange. You don't see babies being born and instantly trying to kill all other babies in the hospital...
Probably because we don't have a completely hierarchic society. And we're not bees.
Technically they aren't being "born". These are queens; the human equivalent is a princess being crowned queen and then axing off all her competitors.
magical11 Well I guess they're not so different after all then.
Ever witnessed a human queen being born?
Mamoru Goldstedt No, that's just what I always imagined it to be like.
Poor half baked queen lol
lmao
Idk why beekeeping videos keep showing up on my recommendations out of the blue, but I’m not disappointed.
why did this make me so sad? i'm like making up life stories for these little bees.
Lmao i'd actually read ur stories about them
Okay, but he said that he was gonna cut the queens out before they hatched and put them each with bees away from each other so that the first queen wouldn't get out and kill the rest. Then he just let her get out and run around and sting everybody. Wth.
From the sounds of things the bee got out when he wasn't watching over the hive. Like he said, in the next few hours, so he probably wasn't watching it as it came out, and it killed the others.
Hahahahahaha
Yep, he said he'd watch them, and separate them so he'd end up with four queens. Then he totally effed up, neglects to separate them, one queen killed and the guy says, "Yeah she's half-baked." Caring and committed he sure ain't! Maybe it's him who's half-baked😒.
Was wondering the same thing y he said he was going to remove 4 of them and then he didn’t.
He could have cut all the Queen cells out but 1, with a utility knife and taken some of the bees from this hive to a a new box. Not sure wth he was thinking!
@DancesInCombatBoots
Oh quit moaning. A beekeeper can’t watch a hive 24/7. And what happened here was perfectly natural. This is what happens. The first queen to emerge will immediately set about eliminating her competition.
I'm alive!!! Wait a second.. i have sisters!!! YES!! TIME TO SLAY THEM!!!!!!
better than game of thrones tbh
Kristian Prela LOL
Kristian Prela game of bees
"game of combs"
I genuinely got upset about the dieing queen bee. why am I so soft?
How the fuck do you people seem to connect feminism with everything? You're like nazis blaming the jews for literally everything that happens.
this is seriously just a comment about how I got sad about a bee dieing. Why tf are you guys talking about Feminism and gender roles. these have nothing to do with it.
Joslyn Diaz because internet
any way man there's nothing wrong with feeling sad about a queen bee dying though it is a little odd
I know and he even said he helped open the cell, I'm like you murderer! D,:
I don't even own bees. Why am I watching this? How did I get here?
Emma Stroble Bee videos are magnetic.
Emma you should keep bees is very rewarding :)
VERY helpful video. Thank you for posting. I'm a new beekeeper and trying to learn how to prevent a swarm.
So cool that they are smart enough to eliminate competition lol.
Awesome video. The best soap opera ever!
damn nature you scary
myusername0wns Jackseptieye?
PiakGem 9l, and honeydew the the,
You got balls of steel fucking with this... I respect that -.-
Excellent educational material for new and prospective bee keepers. I definitely have saved this for future education.
so the queen bees are just like Roman emperors trying to kill each other to keep their supremacy
Game of Honey-combs
Tarik360 that's awesome lol
I cant believe you got all that on tape... great stuff thx for the share. im planning on doing a split with a few queen cells now I now what to expect.
Permaculture Prepper Glad you enjoyed!
Wow!! this is the first time I sew something like this. I'm still amazed ! Thank you for sharing.
Glad to be of interest!
The only thing that I don't like is that I have trypohobia
Timothy Pearson
me too.. worth it to see the half baked Queen though
Moka Rosery true
Timothy Pearson SAME
Timothy Pearson if u actually did u physically wouldn’t be able to watch this
Optical Spider I'm cringing at videos, but I can't handle it in real life. I think it qualifies.
*casually blows on bees*
Man, that is incredible footage! Thanks for showing. Very interesting to SEE what everybody else are talking about.
I feel like the bees are voting who they want by helping that specific queen come out first
What a fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words David. I'm glad people find them interesting.
Dude you fix washing machines and keep bees too? Wow, my kinda guy! Love your channel pal. Keep up the great videos and commentarys.
LOL I like to stay active :)
This is one of the most awesome things I've ever watched, no exaggeration!!
His voice is so nice and calming 😊 I could listen to him for hours!
Thanks for the video, it’s very entertaining and educational 🙂
The honey bee needs our help the national population is declining at a very alarming rate!!! Everyone should start beekeeping small or large it doesn't matter, every little bit helps...
Brian Dickson ?
I wish i could but family is allergic soooo
Fironnathedarkelf Stingless bee will be a good choice for those with allergic
Queen Bee: *born* AH fresh air *sees other queen bees fighting to the death* I WANT IN ON SOME OF THIS HOT ACTION
Amazing filming thx for sharing much appreciated
What a great video, I am a beginner and learned so much from that video, thank you so much
Good for you, beekeeping is awesome!
why cant he just isolate every egg area with some workers to help around until every queen hatches and then remove all the queens but 1 and all the isolation?
You remove all the queen cells and put them in new hives with a lot of workers.
Doug Brown ya but as i saw in the vid the first queen that hatched just killed the rest :(
I wasn't fast enough
dammit doug
Doug Brown you had one job doug
Great video! I think I learned quite a bit just from that short clip. Bees are fascinating!
Endlessly!
Fantastic vid. I get excited every tome I see a big "peanut". I nuc the frame immediately.
Just fell on some bees videos. I don't really like bees but I can't stop watching bee videos !
the bees are all screaming FREE HER and choosing the one they each like best to free. I wonder if they bet honey on it ;) hahhahaha
Wowwwwww...so great about honey and bees... I love honey and bees so much...
Great film work! Thanks for sharing.
this gave me anxiety, i feel like i got stung by a bee? What could be worse?
It thought the title said queen bee calls emergency (911)
arent they just amazing how they work. i think they are great, nature at it's best
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
DB thank you very much for bringing out such a informative video. Thank you...
For Varroa Mite control, have you (beekeeper) seen a solution called a Varroa Gate? This simple plastic strip is placed at the nest entrance, has holes for bee entry/exit, and is impregnated with a varroacide. It also harms neither her or honey the produce. Might be a solution for larger beekeepers using their colonies to pollinate orchards, but, they might be a mite solution.
Awe the queen at 7:05 never got to live. What a mean sister she had....shedding a tear. By the way I love this video I subscribed as well.
Ask 32,935 beekeepers for their opinion and get and get 164,675 different answers. I used a push cage for 24 hours in my LW hive and they are in great shape now going into the fall flow. Not sure if it’s right for you but it worked for me.
This is so game thrones bees edition! Queens are killing each other.
Damn I've been watching a lot of these bee videos lately. This is like some game of thrones shit, lol.
i feel identified with the half baked queen
Fratricide? More like sororicide.
@ 6:35 When your new blowup doll arrives in the mail and you're just so excited to try it out.
Doug, great video and commentary - really helpful for novice beekeepers like me - just subscribed
Great to hear! No new bee videos this year but there are lots of other ones. Check out Fat Bee Man videos too
Colony's motto: Bee Brutal!!!
I learned SO much from this vid idk why
this is just amazing and wow. see the way the worker bees stick around to help the queen out. unfortunately she dint make it. i guess its still that irony of life that its d survival of the fitest. bees are just always busy
1:20 You say you want to cut them out so the 1st queen doesn't kill the others, and then you just leave them in there? WTF
I needed to be prepared with other hives to receive the new queens and I had time.
👍😃If I could just figure out a way to stop itching while watching these videos. 🐝😩
Great video. Very informative!
is there a reason why the workers created the peanuts on the edges?
loved the video, even tho I'm scared sh*tless of insects.
I usually hate bees, but I love them when I see them work like this.
Althought, the Queens are being real assholes :o
I'm supposed to be studying but this is what i'm watching...
well fuck now I want to watch Hunter X Hunter but will need to get through FOUR ARCS before Chimera Ants.
😭😭😭😭 Queen Bee 😭😭😭 RIP
I love bees, their hierarchy is so fascinating ❤️❤️
I couldn't help but think why this guy wasn't taking out the first queen to come out and move her before she gets the chance to kill the other ones while he's distracted looking at other ones the first is just going around killing like wtf
This guy didn't have another hive to put a 2nd queen into
This was very educational. I never knew of the Queen having sister and the assassination that takes place O_O
It looked more like the bee was trying to save the queen.
That was cool! I have seen worker bees emerge, but not queen cells.
+Zak White If you're patient you can see firsthand. If you look closely you can see the bottom of the cell thinned out by the workers and you get a good feel for timing.
why not, when all the queens are still inside the cells, just cut the whole comb into 5, each part having exactly 'one' queen cell with number of bees, and place them each in one separate hive with empty combs? Wouldnt be easier that way? It also reduces the possible queen casualties. Doesnt it?
I didn't have enough bees at the time. I was also concerned about cutting close to the plastic comb and possibly cutting into the queen cell. But you can do exactly what you're saying.
Bees are so metal.
Awesome sir thank you I never see nothing like it.
If you can cut out cells out of the frame go for it. I do it all the time in the spring, for this reason I prefer foundation-less frames. I would recommend you put 2 cells per nucs. Just in case one is a dud. Not more then 2 for several reasons...
Good idea. I'm exclusively foundationless on all my new stuff for that very reason too.
Super cute!
I really enjoyed this beedio
Fascinating! TY bee guy.
That's a well egg pattern queen laid .
Very nice video
Nature is a hell of a thing.
Fricken Bees are Badass.
Awesome video!
i'm so touched with how the worker bees still continued to take care of the dead queen bee although she's dead . Im curious tho , what happens to the dead queen bee?
all the queens relatives are gathered for a eulogy, then they have a funeral where the worker beens lower her into a grave while play taps and a 21 gun salute. lol jk they toss her ass out of the hive.
great video Doug....thanks!
Great video !
Super cool video
I am Living in a unit in a city south of Sydney, after raising my child and looking after all her weird and wonderful pets, i think i want bees. Is this possible and do i need a licence?
Beekeeping is a huge hobby in Australia. You need a back lawn for sure and that's about it. If your unit is an apartment you can possibly arrange with the building manager to keep hives on the roof. I don't know about licensing in Sydney--Just look up your municipal by-laws and/or call city hall. Hope this helps.
6:13 *literarily me when my siblings try to get me out of bed*
Great video. Thanks!
Two questions: 1) Why were you using plastic foundation instead of beeswax? ( I just finished watching a UTube video of how that is made), 2) Where does the royal jelly come from, i.e., which bees make it? Thanks for your excellent video. I am learning a lot here.
Plastic is readily available whereas wax is not. Bees secrete royal jelly from a gland on their abdomen.
I'm in that weird part of youtube again...
Little bees work so hard. How long and how many does it take to make the spoonful of honey I ate this morning. I wonder.
Thanks for sharing. I have 2 frames with 5 caped queen cells. Going to do some splits. Into nucs . Hope thay still have time to build up before winter.
That's what I'm hoping for. I think if you feed them and add some pollen patties you'll get a nice booming hive for the winter. The queen will lay beyond the normal season if she's still seeing food coming in.
awesome video good thing the bees didnt sting you
that's some aliens type shit..
spooky and kinda eery, but very cool.Awesome glimpse into the not so sweet habits of honeybee queens. Thanks for sharing!
I don't know why I'm watching these because my trypophobia always kicks in... 😖😖
Doug. Thanks no room for a back Yards here, have 2 balconies though. Could It work having City bees.
Very interesting
