Whoa, you made it all the way down here! Thank you ♥️ Love you
Loved this video. If possible, please have some more of such "problem" videos.
Great video, I always come to you first for guidance on what I'm seeing in my hive when I'm not sure. I'm going through this with one of my hives right now. Thanks for all of the information! So incredibly helpful
This so awesome thanks so much you have helped my bee so much I started beekeeping 3 months ago and you have helped so much
Great video David. I like your horizontal langstroth.
Good time to do OA treatment with no brood 😊 Looking forward to tonight's live stream
Enjoy the videos my problem is much like yours I found empty cups today in the nuc
We want to see more new bee keepers!
Can you be more specific please.
@@beek you had a newbie beekeeper boy shadow you for a day or two. Give walk through I think his name was Reef?
Could you just put in another frame of brood from another hive?
Hi David. Horizontal hives are the best. This seems like a bit of neglect. Swarming and lots of mites are very preventable and I'm disappointed you titled "Horizontal horror". Better title might be "oops, my bad".
First year beekeeper here! I have the same issue going on right now. No eggs or larvae. Some capped drone brood and a mixture of swarm and supercedure cells. Im assuming they swarmed and i didn't know it. Not sure why they swarmed though because they had plenty of room? I was able to find a Queen. I'm assuming it's one that hatched, not sure if she's mated or not. Should i check again 1 week later for eggs? Or do i need to wait longer? Thank you for all the knowledge, it has helped my tremendously this year so far!
Depending on when that queen emerged (difficult to judge) you should give her one to two weeks. Don't panic for another two weeks.
Is it normal to have this many swarm cells in the horizontal hive? I have seen quite a few in a normal langstroth hive but there seem to be a significantly larger number in this hive.
it seems you had left it unchecked for more than three weeks.
ad a frame of eggs and see what they do with it.
That hive had several queen cells that emerged so chances are there is a queen somewhere
Judging by the timing and the weather I'd say that somewhere is on a mating flight.
How about giving them a frame of eggs now.
That's a good option IF they had more capped brood. But if I give them an egg now, I will not have a laying queen for 30 days. But if I give them a queen in 5 more days that's mated, she will start laying so in 25 days, I'll have 25,000 eggs laid instead of waiting for them to raise one in the same time period.
I love the problem solving 😊
Would the eggs keep them from becoming laying workers or if they make queen cells would that mean they didnt have a queen
I just had the same or similar problem a couple of weeks ago. But with a queen still in there. Looked like they had swarmed. Little brood. Came back a week later, and no brood whatsoever, queen still there. So odd, if they swarmed and raised a new queen, but the new queen not laying any eggs at all... now 2 weeks later I got a swarm call, was a really small swarm, so I removed the non-laying queen, and merged the small swarm, using the newspaper method. Hoping this new queen (which I saw) will get things going again. I'm just a little puzzled on what actually happened...?!
Great news! New queen is doing great! Got a ton of capped brood!! :)
This same thing happened to me on the topbar hive and they made a new queen and then they wanted to swarm again and they made more queen cells with the new queen was laying so I moved her to a new box. They killed the queen in the new box after five days after she laid some eggs, and now I both hives,correcting queen cells, advice?
How do i get my bees to go in the honey super they dont want to go up and start building wax
Is there a video and if not can you make one
This will help: ua-cam.com/video/GH6SwCqC_nI/v-deo.html
I had to take my excluder off and check it.. once they started building I put it back! Make sure frames are
Waxed
Have you seen a supersedure cell capped over, and then two weeks later it was removed and the original queen was still there? I assume it was removed by the bees.
More like the original queen took exception to being superceded and killed the virgin shortly prior to her emerging (when she was piping). After that the bees will remove the remains.
Hey I have a question I bought a queenless hive I didn't knew at the time. But the bees they made a queen cell Im been feeding like crazy. You think they are going to make through winter thank you
Depends on where you are and when winter starts.
How do you tell a virgin queen or newly mated queen from the main laying queen>
After years of experience you can identify the difference, but until then, just watching for eggs and how the other bees treat her. A mated queen is slower and has more bees "retinue" observing her. Virgin queens are faster and no retinue.
they seem way too friendly to be hopelessly queenless, they leave open areas and polish the cells when a new queen is about to start laying.
