Neat! So why import queens from Chile? Just curious.

[@Innisfilcreekhoney]

Canada is cold and we cannot mate Queens until late May or early June. If we want to have a good start replenishing our winter losses, we need to import Queens from warmer climates

[@unclereefer37]

I assume they are mated queens?

[@Innisfilcreekhoney]

Yes they are made in Queens. Could do the same thing with virgin queens and the bees would still feed them all.

[@katie.d0905]

It's inhumane to keep them in such a narrow space.

[@Slave4Freedom]

Good thing they aren’t human.

[@Innisfilcreekhoney]

I guess you don't know too much about bees

[@omdwillieturnip8840]

...but why?

[@Innisfilcreekhoney]

To store the queens until the beekeeper needs to use them. Bees will always look after their queens better than a human ever could

[@BearMeat4Dinner]

Oi! Great video! Ever sell to the USA ?

[@Innisfilcreekhoney]

No, sorry
