I demonstrate how to cut queen cells, and put them with a frame of bees to do splits.Beekeeping made easy. Beekeepers interested in making their own queens don't miss this video. Please excuse me dropping the camera. It happens, lol. - บันเทิง
I like the fact that you go so casual while making these videos... Tripod stumbling... Priceless. Keep up the good work
I did a hive inspection today after a week and a half. The queen was gone and there were 7 almost ready to hatch queen cells! I used old nuc boxes and now have 5 potential new colonies. Fingers crossed. Thanks Dave for all the videos
David, have you ever considered a head cam? POV?
Great idea. I'm going to try it. I still don't know how you go without a bee suit though. I use full protection because they instantly go for my face and hands.
Sounds like you need a new queen. Try for one of the varieties that are calmer and chill.
Impaler bees has a big sense of smelling like dogs little by little will memorize your odor
My Father was stung 25 times while on a tractor and the Doctor said, “You’ll never suffer heart attacks after that many stings”. Strange way to find out how you’re not going to die.🇦🇺🐝
I was stung several times (10+) and I have had two heart attacks......
@@allanmanley6340 I guess your heart didn't get the memo, I've been stung, "keep on pumping"
When he does get stung, he is a boss!!
Bee lands on sleeve @2:02 and immediately stings him @2:08 he pulls it off, you can still see the stinger in the sleeve and he's just adjusting the sleeve like NBD. I would be a huge baby every time i got stung.
I just wear gloves, usually the bees won’t try to sting you through the leather, but it does make it harder to handle more precise jobs.
Oof I’m a huge baby when I’m stung to 😂😂😂😂
Lol yeah I'm so impressed. The timing was perfect too. He'd just finished saying "get to the point where you can go without gloves". I always feel an immediate, compelling urge to sprint to an area without bees the moment one enters my airspace. Would still love to have a hive at some point in my life though.
Please keep doing the "no-editing" style; I love that! Thank you for these great videos! :)
He acts so casual when hes getting stung lol
CNC Scottie his muscles are like insulation I’m sure
When you’re a bee keeper I’m sure getting stung is casual
I mean those are not muscles, he just swole
SOMETHING YOU DO GET USED TOO, EMBRACE IT
nice! if you burn the knife with a lighter it cuts better
My late husband and I used to keep bees in New York State. We harvested the honey once a year, calling it wildflower honey. I found this video very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Dave you’re a true trooper especially handling those bees without any protection LOL man go for it
You should try a go pro camera !
We are going to attempt a split or two. Watching your video gives my wife and myself the confidence to try it out. Great video guy thanks.
Thanks for explaining how a box cutter (utility knife) works 5:10 . I have been doing it wrong for years and thought I should look up a BEE video so I could learn how to use it.
lol Good video bro, just busting your ball for making me laugh... ;)
The cleanest looking Farmer, I’ve ever seen.🐝
Thank You for taking the time to educate us. Bees are the bees knees. So interesting and you make it fun! Thank You and Gods Speed in All you Do🇺🇸👍
you got a stinger in your sleeve it looks like
YO this guys is CRAZY
I want to thank you Dave for helping me thru this first year of bee keeping ; and if they survive the winter into the spring I figure you taught me well.i want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous new year.i hope to try make some splits in the spring.
Did they survive ??
@@donnahenderson8951 yes they did and I am picking up three more 3# packages tomorrow 😁
Love your videos, I'm going out with a lady from Georgia, my hair is pretty much gone
Getting set up in one week when we get back from vacation! Found a local mentor online through a local club. I've been binge watching your videos over a week now. Grateful to you for sharing your expertise so freely. Now, I only hope my bees are as calm as yours! Mentor says he keep his in a T shirt and maybe a hood, so I'm hoping for good stock there. Don't have a bee in my yard yet but I'm all over this! Thanks again!!
You are a terrific guy. I have watched so many of your videos and every one of them is so good and informative. Thank you for your help and demonstration. I'd be using gloves to protect myself. I wonder where you learned all this. So good.
I have a car, helicopter and even private jet! But i cannot afford quality tripod! 😂
you were being sarcastic about the box cutter though . . . weren't ya?
when you inspect hives and see queen cells with royal jelly in the cell do you remove the mother queen with couple capped brood frames and extra nurse bees and put them in new nuc.....and then you just let the old box raise the new queen?. Or can you just pinch the cells to stop them from swarming?
Great channel! You’ve taught me so much through your videos about bees and beekeeping.
A head mounted Gopro cam would work awesome for you
Thanks man I love your videos. You should get a go pro and strap it to your forehead.
thanks-this the first demo I've seen by an expert of doing a split this way. last year, we did a split this way intuitively, since we had a few queen cells. this year, that split is bigger, healthier and more vigorous than the original hive, probably due to them having a younger queen.
Really calm bees! Nice.
Dave's bees and queen 's are great, the post office sucks but super happy with t
why am I so obsessed with this lmao
Do you have a house full of Benadryl?
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Omg, I'm stuck on your videos and I dont know why . Lol great video 💙🐝💙
Awesome, informative videos! Thanks for making them! Planning on getting back into bee keeping, and these have been really
helpful.
Yeah!!! Im so excited that so many are again interested in bees...
Dave i love your videos
Thanks. Your split video is easy to understand for someone just getting into beekeeping.
Thank you for this video 🐝❤️
Hi David
Great videos. One question, this nuc did you have a frame with brood in it? I didn't pick that up.
Thanks.
You helped me a lot with this video! Thank you!
Excellent lesson skills
This is the info I was looking for thanks
Loved the video. However, from a safety perspective, I'd highly recommend that you (or anyone) at least wear some head covering when doing this. That way, if you get stung/swarmed in your head while cutting, your natural instincts will be to swat the bee away. And, if you do so with the knife in your hand... Well, I guess it speaks for itself from there on out. Nonetheless, I think the video and details are first class. As a new and upcoming hobby beekeeper, I greatly appreciate your insight and instruction. I'm subscribing today... Thanks!!!
David can't wait to start trying it made 8 of your mating nuc's but we still have some nights in the high 30s so I am trying to be aware of that,but can't wait. Thanks for all the videos and information Carl from Michigan
so 100 of your vids later and me here thinking your some old man lol
So helpful. Thankyou much!
Love your videos
I learn something new thanks
Is it that you spray some thing on your body to prevent skin i am from jamaican and I don't believe you cud that whit my bees
How did I get here?
This is about the 3rd or 4th video I've watched...
Keefe Guadeloupe SAME LOL
Same🤣 now I'm interested in bees
Pink Diamonds same😂😂
it was recommended to me and I've just watched about 3 hours of bee keeping
It's addicting somehow🤔
I LOVE your videos, they are very informative!
i find these videos really interesting thankyou for making them :-)
I thought swarm cells grew on the bottom of the frames.... Why are these in the middle of the frame?
Cells at the bottom are swarm cells and the ones on the facing are supersedure cells.
@@JoseAntonio-pb7nd as a bee keeping I agree and second your comment lol
Good video! At 2:02 that bee popped ya on the arm!
Barnyard Bees I feel your pain bro! You held your composure way better than I do!!!! Great video!
that bee stung you?
Dude didn't even flinch. You can tell he's used to it.
So, did that bee die?
Yea you can see the stinger on your shirt@@davidhaught84
I love watching you gently disperse them!
Did you know that there’s bees in Minecraft? And there’s an Addon to add Queen bees to your world with royal jelly and royal jelly bottles,
Man your bees are so nice... mine are assholes... I re-queened this spring, I hope the new batch is better.
Nice to see you sir 😊
Thank you Sir, from Amman-Jordan,,
Thank you! This cleared up a lot of confusion for me.
How long does a new hive take to start making new queens? Do they make queen cells constantly or just when the hive is near full and planning to swarm?
Great video. Keep it simple. Good demonstration. What time of day is best? Early morning? March?
Loving the videos! Just subscribed today to your channel! Looking forward to all your videos!
Hey I have a question. I went without gloves and the second time I was in the hive I got stung on my right thumb and my left middle finger. my hands swelled up for 3 days. if I continue to not use gloves I've heard you can build up an immunity and they won't swell up as much. Does anyone have experience with this.
I took it as a message that they were giving me the middle finger. hahah
I think it just depends, everybody is different. I watch DirtRooster as well, and he takes stings all the time. I was never allergic until I got swarmed, after that it's emergency room time for me if I get stung. LOL, my Mom wanted to start beekeeping, but decided against it since I live right next door to her--I told her not to let that stop her but she eventually gave up the idea.
Why am I watching this I’m addicted now. But for some reason I thought that a Bee 🐝 colony can actually make their own queen
Guppy Gal Presouz
They can, and do - but only if they have eggs or very young larvae. Something left by the old queen when she swarmed. (Although most queens about to swarm make sure to leave a number of queen cells with Queens about to emerge into the old colony.) I think what you are thinking of is most commonly called a supersedure - when the queen dies or is failing, and the colony uses existing young to make a new queen.
Dave I have a question about transferring a NUC. Just got it yesterday here in Michigan, it’s about 48 outside supposed to hit 60. Will it chill the brood if I love them today, because they told me not to let them sit to long because the NUC is packed out pretty good. I have the front flap open so they’re getting orientated. Thanks for any advise.
Hi Dave, thanks for all your videos! You really help us "newbees" out. I noticed on this split you made, you did not put any brood in. So it is possible if there are foreger bees and a queen cell, that a queen can start laying within 10 days? In removing a frame from the hive, one queen cell got ruptured/opened. Do you know if the worker bees could salvage/reclose that queen cell, or will that potential queen cell be no good and die? Thanks again!!
I use wax foundation. can I cut a queen sell from my frame? Also I noticed you do not use wax foundation. Does it take longer for the bees to draw out come if you do not use wax foundation?
So good for the bee breed you have. I wonder if this method can be used for African bees.
It’s 3am idk why I’m watching this but it’s interesting
I wanted to see how him separating the queen cells that were back to back. Still a great video, though.
Nice video. Keep it up man..
Thanks Dave.
What shocked me is he started to explain what an exacto knife is and how it works..... wow... Can you also tell me what water is and how it works???
David, thank you for your time and your videos. Very helpful.
I’m now obsessed with beer videos
This guy really reminds me of a JACKED baby hahahaha
Do you have any suggestions for cutting queen cells when you have 2 joined together? or when they are so close together that someone might not be sure if they can be separated? Thanks.
Loved the video; you just found yourself another subscriber. Thumbs up, barnyard bees!
Using foundation frames, can you cut out the queen cell in the same way?
This is my first year having bees. I am interested in splitting my hive but i don't know when i could do it,is it early or should i wait untill next spring? Thanks
Why do some people use the suit & some people not?
Barnyard Bees - that’s so incredible. I’d love to do this, especially since the honeybee population is lowering.
great video
Thank you for these! I'm just learning about beekeeping. Want to start my own business.
I never thought I would be so interested 🙄❤
wow bees really are cool and cute
This just proves that bees don’t want to sting you, I know he used smoke but still, if they wanted to sting they could have at any time but he got off with just one, bees have no interest in you as long as you don’t mean to harm them. I understand the fear of wasps, hell I’m terrified of wasps (personal experience) but fear of bees in my opinion is minor at best, irrational at worst. When I was around 8 I think, I saw a large bee on a flower in my front yard and I sat down next to it and just studied it, I was so close I could see the pollen on it’s legs, and it paid me no attention, didn’t even care that I was there
Love the video
How far must you move the original box to do this to keep the bees from just going back home? Thanks in advance
loved watching this Dave we are getting ready to do some nice here
Thanks, it’s a great video with so much useful information.
Lol the comments section on this. Good vid bud :)
Wish you could have zoomed in
God bless you
Awwww you're so huggable
Actually this guy is good voice and good explanation. I hope he can get morw sub
Fuck balls of steel, this man has balls of bees!
the description of an exacto-knife XD
thank you very much.
