Well well good for you. I did 30 cells for a guy earlier this year, he seen some of my videos of the gentile bees I have. Now I finally did some for myself off the Randy Oliver queen I got . If I get 20 or so queens from her I'll be happy. going into the mating boxes tomorrow the 27th
Man you are on fire. Fascinating. Matt every single new deep super we built has cut divider options. So 3 3 chambers or 2 5 frame in a 10 frame. I should shoot a video for you. By the way I have a 30 dose pack of Formic Pro in the box left over from last Fall. To bad we don't live closer. I've switched over to ApiGuard.
This year I went from 2 hives to 13 hives in 6 weeks then a tornado cut me back to 3 hives, now I'm back up to 8. If not for the tornado I'd have 21. All from swarm traps and shaking swarms.
Dang.
Checking in to see how things and the Family are doing? Blessed Days Matt, Sara an Family...
Going good DC really busy and blessed
Dude....ok you got me.
I'm freaking interested.
😃
First time seeing one of your videos. Your passion and excitement are contagious. I’m sitting at 5 hives and have been thinking of July splits to 10 (with lots of feeding), but have been nervous to try grafting. Even have a Chinese grafting tool. Was going to try cell punch method, but may go the route you chose after hearing about your success.
Grafting is so so so much better then walk away splits. Try it bet you will like it.
Great Job! I tried the nicot queen rearing system... my old eyes have trouble these days.
I like your passion in Beekeeping keep it up and thanks for sharing
Thanks
Wow great job Matt! Bees? Addicting? Who knew?!
Thanks. 😂right 😆
Well done, the best feeling when your ladies are born. Your queens are stunning.
Thanks
great work man
Thanks
I am glad everything is going so well for you.
Thanks
@@mattsara2802 I would keep splitting the hives every year, you have good genes for your area.
Wow! 👏🏻👍🏼
Can you elaborate on how you used your egg incubator to incubate your queens?
Yup. I set it at 93 and put water in the bottom.
🤨You have been a lot busier then me, dang dude😲impressive😃tell me more.
Awesome Matt, I am very happy that your season is going so well. I wish I had a longer season.
Update of the garden, how's Sara, the kids? Pigs doing well in the trees? Blessed Days Matt Family...
I may try to make a few after the Solstice as soon as I finish my longhive timing box.
I did that with a few of my beeps, that is what I call my Side-by-Side.
Thanks 😊. We are all doing great 👍. We will be doing a video soon. The fruit trees are crazy. I have sold lots of queens and gave a bunch of them away also.
Brilliant job.
Thanks
Great Job Mat, well done. Be carefull not to spread too thin and risk chillbrood. Good luck.
Thanks and absolutely
So how much honey are you planning on harvesting next year?
That all depends on how many hives go into winter and how many come out but a lot 😃
🥳🎉🥳🎉I am so excited for you Matt.👏👏👏
Thanks 😊
Well done good for you
Thanks 😃
Do you treat for mites? If so when and what do you use?
