I talk about how queens hatch, , and return. - Розваги
Guys I'm a computer science major at 1 am during dead week. I'm three videos into bees. Surprising very relaxing 👌👌 so much to learn still
did u see the ballin' the bees do to a rejected queen?
@@stephentrueman4843 i did!!! They craaazy
@@stephentrueman4843 i tried to save a queen by putting a divider in the middle of a top bar hive and they balled her today it was sad
Hey everybody that watches this video I just ordered today Queens from barnyard bees on September 5 at 10:45 they were sent to united parcel post and they arrived at my house on September 7 I thought for sure they would be dead but all three queens I was well prepared with plenty of other bees to keep the queen fed and plenty of queen candy placed in their cages and the cages well secured in their package just want to say thanks to David and Jimmy there queens and shipping are number one
What wow wow
He,s judt giving his bisnes away
Barnyard Be
why did you buy 3 queens if you thought they would be dead by the time they got to you

Probably was less an expectation and more of a fear or concern. Just a guess, but I find that is not unusual in humans.
Very well informative, I don’t plan on raising bees but I find this fascinating.
Right me too! I have no intention to raise bees I just like learning new stuff! :)
beekeeping is now on my retirement to do list im fascinated by it!
Asiyah Ali it also fascinates me and I would love to start a colony!
Why wait ? Its a fun hobby for sure
And u know without bees the world goes to shit
LOCAL MAN STUNG TO DEATH BY BEES DAYS AFTER RETIREMENT
Great decision! I retired early and started beekeeping. Going into my fourth year. It's a wonderful obsession.
I watched another bee video that recorded the amazing sound of the new queen piping as she was ready to emerge from her cell. What amazing little insects! Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I am starting my second year into beekeeping. And your videos have been immensely valuable. Your insight into their behavior has helped me to understand some of the things I have observed particularly with one of my hives.
I wish I could keep bees. But I’m deathly allergic (have my epi pen on me at all times) :( I love your videos
Very good video full of useful information, stay blessed David.
Just wanted to say thank you for the positive information about bees! Bees rock
Love these videos so much. You're so informative and interesting to listen to! Thank you🐝🙌
Thank you so much for doing these very informative videos. This is the stuff that nobody tells u . Thanks So Much
Thank you so much for making these free videos God bless
Great video big fan of walk away queens.
We have a new hive that has taken up residence in an old dead Ash stump. It is a huge stump. My wife says no to more bees. She doesn't like getting buzzed. They are gentle and love our hummingbird feeders and are not a bit bothered by me changing the sugar water in them. I am going to build a hive and hope to catch the swarm the current hive will have next year.
I really like your videos: they are very educational and I like that you trust the bees know better in choosing the right egg 💪🙏🐝🐝🐝
Just wanted to say I have witnessed the worker bees destroying all the rest of the capped queen cells also. Thank you for the video. Thought I was the only one to witness this until now.
Two things:
1) your voice and videos are so calming
2) I love bees and wish I could be a beekeeper, just really can't in the suburbs
I'd love to see a video explaining how and when you chose to split - I have 1 hive and I plan on splitting in to two hives next spring, and I'm willing to order a queen but I bet the bee's could produce a new queen for the split on their own
In this NUC it looks like you left the new queen plus another queen and a queen cell why don’t you remove the cell and other queen?
Thanks for the videos and education I’m a new keeper 3 years in Pacific NW.
Can’t get over how docile your bees are. They look like they are sleeping
This is maybe youre best video. Bees are a resource not a curiosity. Thanks for the info.
This is excellent! I love bees and honey!
Rather watch this its calming and knowledgeable infromation
Hey David. Second year Beek here. Your videos are so simply done, but you have the most informative videos on UA-cam. I always look forward to you putting out a new one. Could you do a video on foundation vs foundationless? I'm wanting to sell bees more than make honey. Does that make a difference in using one or the other? I also appreciate you not asking for donations. Thanks again for your very informative videos. I'm going to have to get some queens from you next spring.
Fascinating!!! Very interesting!!!
Fascinating. Wish I had a place I could keep bees at.... Maybe in the future. 🤞
That's a nice little cat (at 18:20).
Vented box? Looks like the box was vented at the start.. love all your videos you make it look so easy! I have tried it myself after watching all your viedios all winter
I have two hive that I installed via nucs 1 week ago. One of the hives is very strong, lots of activity. On inspection I discovered several drone cells and a few queen cells. I did see the queen and the bread was well organized in different phases on at least 3 frames. I’m wondering if I can pull out the frames with the queen cells and start another hive? Is this too early or should I do this before some of my colony swarms?
Great video. I love to see the queens cause I can't never find them, i just look for eggs. But then of course my queens always end up in the wrong box when I split.....
Dream Into Being Homestead why don't you mark them then?
love your knowledgable teaching skills,Please consider getting a better tripod,cause all the movement in your videos
makes my head reel causing me to try (visually ) to auto correct the picture and lose concetration on what you are saying. !!! You know Bees,I know video . just sayin' :)
From a non-beekeeper, to me it actually makes more sense that the workers (due to sheer numbers) would be the ones that would destroy the unhatched queen cells as they already have a queen. I would think that if there is any other queens that hatched, then the queens would fight to death. I'm also guessing that it probably doesn't happen every time but it makes sense to my brain that it would happen that way. Very interesting David!
Thank you for the video. You always have interesting information. I know it's late in the season, but I spit a hive a week ago because I would have had 4 deep boxes going into winter. This will be my second winter as a beekeeper and I heard it isn't always good to have such a large colony to overwinter. I checked on the 7th day and found about 6 queen cells that the bees made. Some are much smaller than others. All but one were capped (even though it's only been 7 days). The cell still being drawn out is very long and beautiful and has a nice larva inside. Most of the cells were on the middle of the frame, but a couple were on the bottom like a swarm cell. I am just wanting your opinion on what I should do. Should I let them be and hope that at least one queen emerges and mates successfully? I hear it's super risky this time of year with predators. I also have quite a lot of drones because I kept having to try to keep the big hive from swarming and a lot were produced. Should I get rid of the smaller queen cells? Are they inferior to the longer ones? Should I be worried that the cell on the bottom of the frame might make the bees want to swarm, or do they only swarm when there is an older, established queen? Should I make a nuc with a frame containing a couple queen cells/pollen/honey/ready to emerge brood from my strong hive? I understand once the first queen emerges the other cells are torn down or killed by her? Should I try to ensure at least 2 queens emerge, then i will double my chances of a successfully mated queen returning? I'm sorry I have so many questions.
Best channel ever
great video,very informative.
Thank u for your videos
From the shadow you cast, it looks like you're wearing some protective gear. We're the bees pissed about something?
I think your videos are very informative.
Myself i have australian stingless bees.
Just made 7 hives langstroth design And i am planning to buy a hive or capture feral bees
Great videos! Is there one showing how you build the plywood nucs?
I like the style and size of your hives. Do you have a video that talks more about them?
David,this is John from Goodlettsville Tennesse.I want to re queen some of my hives,what is the best thing to do for honey production,now or in spring?Also,how early in spring can I get queens from you?
Thank you! ❤️👍🐝
Knowledgeable! Very good
Will a new queen fit through a metal queen excluder?
Some beautiful bees
Very informative thank you..
I came on your info by accident and am fascinated! How do you not get non stop stung? .
That is a nice little cat.
Mrowrrprrrrrrrrrrrrprrrrrrrrrrrrrrprrrrrrrrrrrrrrprrrrrrrrrrrrr. Heaven is a lapful of sleepy purring kittens.
I have the same question as someone else, I'm in Maryland and is it too late by July 1st to try a walk away split?
they mate with one drone or more ? when with more then how if we know every time other bees remove male part when she came back from flight
David, great video, so can capped Queen cells be introduced to a split by placing her between the top bars between two frames?
Yes ! 🐝
Your bees seem so gentle, but would they survive a CO winter?
How long after you put your new bees in the hive will you get new queens?
Informative Video.
The bees have a very, very, small micro chip for a brain that holds a lot of Data.
Is it possible for you to take the queen cells, developed or undeveloped, off of the frames and let them develop into queens for you to use later? It looked to me like the cells were sealed so I don't see them needing food or anything.
You have so many bee hives. How much honey do you produce per month?
Some of the combs that you showed in this video had big gaps at the bottom, and elastic bands,. as if they had been cut-and-fitted from stray nests. How long does it take the bees to fill all the holes in comb cut-and-fitted into a Langstroth frame?
How do you keep the hives you leave open without a top from being robbed and attacked? We made 2 walk away hives. They were both attacked the next day.
What do you do when you find a new queen?
David I wasn't aware that it could take as long as 4 days for the queen to mate. We saw our queen on saturday. The following saturday she was gone from the nuc. I waited 3 more days still no queen, so I ordered a mated , marked queen. The marked queen is still in the nuc. What happens if the original queen comes back to find a marked queen in her nuc? Is it just the strongest survives?
Death battle. Record it.
Im pretty sure they fight till the other dies
They'll probably ball the new queen
David, great vid. Are you finding problems with dragonflies and queens not returning?
How do you get the queen to come back to the same nuc she flew out of?
How late in the year can you make a split ?
Will the queen bee go far away from her hive and breed with other drones in another hive so no inbreeding.
That's what I was told.
Thanks Dave
She never breeds with her own Hive Drones. (Drones from other colonies do sneek in for free food !) Queens fly out to Mating Areas called Drone Congregations, often up to 5 Miles or so ! Hoping no bird, dragonfly of car windscreen gets her on her return to her own Hive ! 💪
In the fall or winter months, is it an option to create a room where when a queen hatches you can put her in the room with drones where she'll mate? Also, given the right temp, would bees work continually throughout the year?
Queens can get mated artificially, in a Lab setting, with Drone sperm. (Test tube wise) not Bees kept in a room over winter. 😱
Queen Breeding is only done in the Summer or early Autumn months. Otherwise, they wouldn't survive the cold ! 🐝
@@mmb_MeAndMyBees Thank you very much for answering. I appreciate the information. I'm going to check on UA-cam for a video about artificial bee insemination.
Wow! I had no idea!!!! So there can only be one queen per colony?
How does the egg get into the queen cell or is it just a normal egg converted to become a queen
Do you have any plans for nuc boxes? I’m looking to build some.
are those boxes made from osb? that's a nice afforable solution!
With that being a nuc box and with them making new queen cells. Ideally wouldn't you want to remove the queen cells and go ahead and move them to a 10 deep, to keep them from swarming.
Thanks
The dislikes are the Bees
How much times do you get sung
What's the oldest a egg can be before they can make a queen out of it?
When the queen hatched where does the drone come into play if you only have 2 hives. There wasnt any in that hive.
What do you mean by a walk away hive.? Also if all the bees are from the same yard and you take some frames and put them in a nuc, won't those bees go back to their original hive?
Walk Away Splits... Are when you want to Raise your own Queens (Queen Cells.)
Take Frames of capped Brood, Honey and Pollen, lots of Nurse Bees, and some eggs (no older than 3 days.)
Put them in a five Frame Nuc Box (1/2 Hive size, to X10 one.) And Walk... Away !!!
Aka, the bees go 'Oh my Goodness, we have "NO Queen". So they make their own replacement Queen Cells +++. Us Humans (Beekeepers) must leave them to it.... Walk Away, and not interfere until 6 - 8 weeks later. When hopefully a Queen gets born, matures up, goes on a Mating flight, returns, becomes "Queen and starts laying" her own eggs (larvae.) 💪
My one more question: If bee keeper din't notice a new hatched queen and there is already queen in the hive, will the new hatched queen will return to same hive after mating in the air and fight with old queen? or leave to somewhere else?
wow
Good morning David, If one queen cell out of 4 hatches way before the other ones and they are not yet capped or just capped as the new queen emerges will the workers leave the cells until the new queen mates?
@@davidhaught84 will she kill the old queen? The seller said the queen currently in the NUC is mated but I have yet to see any eggs - I guess she got stage fright or feels there isn't a need for eggs yet? They are bringing in pollen and nectar, I am feeding them 1-1 as well. I was wondering if I should pull the old queen out and put her in a 2 frame nuc with a frame of capped brood and frame of honey? OR just leave her? I am checking the capped cell this coming saturday to see if it hatched.
where can one get 5 frame nucs?
David, can you lock an unmated queen together with several drones in a hive so the might mate INSIDE the hive ?
And is that a good possibilty for keeping that queen IN THE HIVE ???
@@davidhaught84 why are there mating boxes for sale in the shops. ???
do you not use smoke
KITTY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
how much are you package bees
How much are your mated queens ?
"woop there she is" heh
Are there both male and female bees and then queen bees or are all female bees Queens?
Sorry, super-newbie question here. Am I understanding, from this video, that bee's eggs hatch/gestate in 4-5 days? My hens' eggs take 28-32 so this shocks me. Also a queen egg takes 15 days to hatch/gestate, is that right?
Can you do a video on the wire or string you use on your frames, how do you put is on and stuff
theres a bunch of videos already on how to wire a frame. Just a quick search will show more than you want to watch.
What do you think about tearing down the capped queen cells on the fifth or sixth day? Do you find it unnecessary, counter productive or advisable? I guess you just make a split and let them do what they want.
The kitten was soooo cute. How is it doing?
I still don’t think I understand how queens are made though. I get the reproducing part and how you said it takes a few days. They’ll fly away and come back. But what makes a queen a queen, and why? Why is that specific bee a queen compared to all the other bees? Is a queen bed like a different subspecies of the same species of bee? I’m a total beginner at beekeeping.
Queen bee are completely the same except the worker bees with select a few eggs that are perfect Health and feed them Royal jelly that is secreted from a gland in the worker bees head. The Royal jelly turns the bee into a queen and she will eat only Royal jelly her whole life. Sci show has a great episode explaining this I'll see if I can link it in the comments.
ua-cam.com/video/m_SlH3Uwslc/v-deo.html
Here is the link to the sci show episode about the science behind a queen bee, enjoy! :)
The royal jelly actually has nothing to do with making a queen. All bee larva are fed royal jelly. It is actually the absence of pollen that makes a queen. Pollen deactivates the reproductive organs in a bee and it is fed to every vee larva except the queen. Sometimes -likley due to pesticides- the pollen doesn't completely deactivate the ovaries and you will get what is called a laying worker. Laying workers can make a mess of your hive as they lay eggs everywhere but are incapable of doing it correctly. They can lay tons of eggs in a single cell and they cant reach the bottom to place them appropriately.
Hello I am new to watching this channel I have a question only the queen can lay eggs or can the worker bees lay eggs also🥚🥚🥚
Queens can choose to lay eggs to become any Bee. (Worker, Drone, possible future replacement Queens. The Workers feed an egg Royal Jelly = only way to become a "Queen Cell." Aka a new Queen 👑.)
Workers can only lay Drones, as they are not mated like the Queen is ! (She can turn on and off sexual genetics,) to determine if more girls, or boys are needed ! 😉
Workers only lay Drones, in a last ditch attempt, to get boys born, flly out, get mated to a Queen, somewhere, that might Swarm (be another Bee Colony !) If caught by a Beekeeper... 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
I wish there was a pointer you could use when you are pointing out various things. I usually have a hard time seeing exactly what you are talking about. Just wishing.
How long does a Queen Bee live?
Its sad.
We're screwed.
I cant find tears.
I clearly haven't been the one who has been abused. Qed y
August XIII are you 🆗?
Huh
Ok a queen of the hive lays the eggs, at the same time she lays queen eggs??
NEAT..
is it too late to make splits? Im in central Tx.
if i order a mated queen..... whats approx shipping time?
What is a split called a walkaway split?
When do introduce bee bread and pollen
