    I think that the queen in Nuc 1 is a poorly mated queen. Even if she doesn't have a big support staff she should be laying in a tighter area. That pattern is what they call shotgun scattered brood.

    @Mackabees 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think you are right. #5 doesn't have enough bees so she is growing what bees can support.

    • @JeromeBeeFarm
      @JeromeBeeFarm  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, I think she's old and not superceeding for whatever reason. I need to get out there and check them again. May be full of wax moths or hive beetles by now. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Smoke em real good to CONFUSE THEM, and > Just stack the 2 nuc until there ready for a 10 frame box. The queens will most likely work togather each in there own box or the best one wins

      Yeah, this year was a bee explosion. I think I came out of winter with 16 hives and got to 30 in May. OkieRob has over 40 I think. lol I don't know how he keeps up. I can't afford another year like that. lol I don't have enough equipment to keep up. Thanks for watching and commenting.

      Some of mine are bearding now. I put 2x4 blocks under the lid to give them a little more ventilation when it gets really hot. Lets in hive beetles though.

      I only raise the inner cover to 3/8" on the back side. Mostly the dam wax moths> dam if you do ! dam it you don't ! > That why i like that screen inner cover ! But they propolis the screen up!> So again! > dam if you do! dam it you don't!> Pennies, Quarters, ect. help between the 4 corners of the hive bodies for more ventilation

    I have a nuc that was filled with a swarm and is now down to a couple of hundred bees after the queen took off again. remaining bees have a queen cell thats ready to hatch. sad to know they won't make it.

    • @JeromeBeeFarm
      @JeromeBeeFarm  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, but you might get a spare queen out of the deal if she mates and starts laying eggs. You could boost them with a frame of brood and nurse bees and they might have a chance, unless you are more northerly. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Why not feed with pollen patty and 1:1 sugar water?

    • @JeromeBeeFarm
      @JeromeBeeFarm  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't use pollen patties any more. The hive beetles use them to lay eggs in and are a mess. I think they already have plenty of honey in each hive. Thanks for watching and commenting.
