Whoa, you made it all the way down here! Thank you ♥️ Love you - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
It's raising queens that makes beekeeping so much easer. Everyone should at least try once.
So True Dan!!
Excellent tutorial. Now I see why my current queen rearing attempt was so marginally successful. I had some brood in the starter, installed too many grafts and didn't have enough nurse bees. Thanks!
Thanks so much
Will pass this on to more backyard bee keepers.
I sure do thank you kindly!
Great 👍 video really enjoyed it starting 2023 spring can't wait
Hi Randal, that's great to hear
Special thanks 🐝 🐝 🐝
Hi, David keep preaching the bee gospel ! Your so right , I had one hive I knew had a week qeen in the fall. That hive has 0 bees in it today. The rest of my hives were all out flying today 60 degrees .
A few days ago - 30 degrees below zero wind chill. No isolation . they made it ! They were qeened right !
Thank you ! I'm taking notes !
Thanks for sharing Rodney
Just came from Dadant, got some equipment to start rasing Queens !
Thank you !
David is the KING BEE !
Fantastic my teacher👩 I really appreciate your efforts to encourage us beekeepers. It has been a challenge to me whenever I try to increase my colonies by taking hives on a catcher. Recently I started splitting so that I can attain more colonies fast but I ended loosing 10 colonies. Your subject today has really made me feel good about bees 🐝. Am gonna be a queen keeper now.
Hi David I will bee trying my hand at beekeeping in 2023. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I have watched other beekeepers videos but keep coming back to yours. I am in New Brunswick Canada we have long cold winters and short summers. Thanks for the videos keep them coming.
Thank you David. I really appreciate your sharing your knowledge and making all of the informative videos. I'm looking forward to this spring and raising a few queens.
With queens $30 to $45 it's time to learn. I'm enjoying these videos just what I need!
David, you're such a good teacher. I continue to learn so much from your videos. BTW: I'm enjoying your Ultimate Beekeeping course. Great stuff.
Thanks for continuing this series on queen rearing. It may be in in store for my 2023 season. Have a happy new years.
Love this series David. Super fun!
Glad you enjoy it
I am so excited about this series!Been following it along and cannot wait for the future videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I'm so glad!
Glad you are going over this. I plan on trying grafting this year for the first time now that I have enough hives to make a good starter and finisher. Appreciate you taking the time.
Good to hear Peter!
Sheri and David, Happy New Year ! Look forward to all your videos ! We are back into the 70's. Glad the cold weather is gone for now. Take Care !
Same to you!
Great explanation of this process. Can’t wait for more. Thanks!
Thanks Clayton
Awesome video David! This covered exactly a lot of the questions that I had about queen rearing.
Hi Jerry, glad my content is helpful.
Installed my first hive yesterday, only one sting in the juggler an hour after I put them in, but looking forward to the journey and am ordering a second hive.. I ain't scared! Thanks for your help
I’m watching your queen rearing series and also your online class I purchased a while back. Thank you for being so thorough. I feel very excited to try raising queens this spring. Thanks David!

Great to hear!
Thank you David. I am getting excited to try this summer.
Good to hear Neil
David, thanks for the videos on queen rearing. Awsome. I'm going to start into this this year. Thanks again.
Thanks Duane and I'm glad you are pursuing queen rearing.
This is such a cool video. Professor Burns
Thanks Christine. Pretty tough writing backwards 😃
@@beek lol. I was wondering about that. I figured you had a secret way of reflecting your image
This is a great video. I full intend to try Queen raising. I start my beekeeping journey March this year.
Best of luck!
Great information!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing all your hard work with us!!
You are so welcome!
Very nice David!! Great video!!
Thank you very much!
WOW! I am learning a lot. Your videos are an information pack. Thank you. I'm going to start raising my own queens next year.
Great to hear Matthew
Nailed it David! Another awesome video. You have inspired my wife and I to try queen rearing!! Thank you!
That is awesome!
I can’t wait to try in the spring 😊
Good to hear
Keep the videos coming, learning a lot from you.
Thanks, will do!
Love the new tech!!
Good video David I enjoyed it. I saved some money well a lot of money this past year by not buying any bees at all. It was great to not depend on some one else and 99.9% of the time my bees replaced the store bought queen after a month or the queen was damaged and did not lay The started hive u made seems a hole lot eaiser then what I did last year I put 8 frames of capped brood in a hive with nurse bees and had to wait 10 days for them to emerge and had to go back to the starter and removing any queen cells they had made in the mean time. I am trying this way next year keep the videos coming they are great Thank you for doing them
Happy New Years
This was a very clear well presented video. I'm starting to make a list of what I need to learn/ do to make this happen
Merci david tes vidéo sont vraiment intéressant tu fais une différence même au Québec 👍
Merci de me l'avoir dit.
Nice video for a person beginning to raise queens. Good job with the board. Hope to meet you at Hive Life. Happy New Year.
Yes, we are looking forward to being at Hive Life
Nice job David!
Thanks
I'm not starting for the first time in 2023, but I am starting completely over and I wouldn't have thought to raise queens until at least 2024. Thanks for the videos and encouragement to raise queens first year
Good to hear Veronica
Thank you David. After 4 years of losing hives due to lost queens and having to buy queens to replace them, I am taking your advice and trying to raise my own queens. I have lost 2 hives this fall due to lost queens and it makes me sick not to have a queen available to replace them. Hope this takes away some of that bad feeling of losing hives.
You can do it.
Great presentation on this video. Love the board. Backwards writing? Skills my friend!
Gotta try it,, thank you for disseminating the knowledge needed to succeed..
Thank you Wes I'm glad you are enjoying it.
Great Video David. Hope I get a chance to meet you at hive life.
Sheri and I will have a booth, you can't miss us.
Thanks for doing this video. I hope to meet you at Hive Life in January.
I'll be there, you cannot miss us, me and Sheri will be there.
5 year beekeeper and for some reason raising queens has been so intimidating
Grafts. not graphs. (8.06). Extremely well explained and presented.
And I knew that ☺️
thanks David, I took your online bee class. I live in Ohio.
Awesome, and thank you so much
Whoohooo..from philippines..🫶🫶🫶
Hey
Thank you so much David. You were such a great teacher. I'm from the islands of the south seas that are different from yours. We are tropical. How can you help me a new starter with my weather patterns.?
Great video! But I have a question. Are you writing backwards on that board? That’s amazing!
Are you planning to show what to do with all the nurse bees after the queens exit the starter hive? Do they transfer with the queens? Do you combine them with another hive? Newspaper method? Give them a queen?
Hi David great video again. Silly question does your 5 frame nuc box have a entrance?
Thanks again for the knowledge you are sharing. I have a question about the starter hive. Do you need to close the entrance on the starter hive ? How close can it be to the donor hive ?
I'll answer this in an upcoming video.
Thanks for another great video
You said to brush the nurse bees off of the uncapped brood frames. Could we just shake the frame (as the bees would fall into the Nuc) or is brushing better? I’m always scared to injure the bees with a brush so was hoping to instead do a quick shake of the frame and the bees fall down. I will do whatever you think is best so please advise. Thanks!
I'll answer this in the next video
So going into winter I had two hives . One hive was twice as productive as the other going into winter and had so much more resources than the other hive that wasn’t doing so well . But after this cold snap we had this time my more productive hive totally was gone and seemed like they left and went to the less productive hive. Have you ever seen this happen before .
Yes, many reasons for this. Viral loads are usually higher in more “productive” hives, and they eat more and can more easily starve out.
Dave can I throw drone inside the starter hive.
My bees come from largely feral (well established colonies that have been there for multiple seasons) these bees have shown natural varroa tolerance. There are no keepers within range of my apiary that treat, (that i am aware of.) I will be looking at breeding in a season or two, some are still a little excitable and i need productivity comparisons.
David it would be good to see stuff on Drones - how to breed them in bulk etc
Thanks for the suggestion
I have top bar hives. Can I devide them up as starter/ finisher hives. Planning on using the Nicot system. Was looking at mini mating nucs but was wondering what happens if I don't sell all the queens? Then put them in nucs to over-winter. I also don't have a lot of funds to start with. What is cheapest way to go to get queens mated in?
Hi David, amazing quality videos, feels like a high quality course.
- How do you keep the cycle going for raising queens, does the starter hive receive a virgin queen ? If yes, can the 5 frame hive be used again after the queen is mated and removed from it ?
That's a great question that I will answer on my next video
What do you think about using a cloake board to have you hive make queens? I am going to try my hand at grafting this year. Thought about using a claoke board for the first go around though.
I did try it but for me it was much more complicated that my way.
*****David my 2 hives both died from this storm. I don’t know what to do with the hives and full resources. Can you make. Video on what to do with hives that you have lost for the new beekeepers?
78 degrees today, bees flying everywhere. Pollen feeder and sugar water were being hammered.
wow
If you do not have a frame of pollen, can you use pollen powder? If yes, would you shake a fair amount of pollen powder on an empty frame of comb to simulate collected pollen? I did not see a lot of frame of good pollen in my hive last year to use for the starter hive.
I'll answer this in my next video.
What’s the number of nurse bees that makes them feel crowded.
David do you open breeding or artificial breeding ?
I have 4 hives at the beginning of fall and they was really strong but I checked them today and found out one hive has gone . I think the bees have gone too my other hives ? I’m totally lost on it . I have had maybe 70 bees at the bottom
Sounds like a queen event took place in the fall.
12 I like this video ... let me know what to make and buy when ... so I can do okay.
Where did you go to schools To get your master certificate
I because a Certified Master Beekeeper in 2010 through the Eastern Apicultural Society of North American. Here is their website: easternapiculture.org/programs/master-beekeepers/
Why do you 'not' want any developing brood? (larvae)
I'm going to answer that in my next video Dennis
Do u have to write on the board backwards?
You are the first to notice that.
So David what you’re saying is the graphs will all develop at the same time say you have 10 graphs, and five and them hatch before the other ones the the other queens won’t survive Charlie PA
I will answer this in my next video
Graft
I am shocked you didn't say you was a master beekeeper
Surely everyone knows it by now 😃
I can not find the video for the life of me but there was one of your videos that you had frames that had been made to put photos in of the bees life cycle for showing. I am almost positive it was you. Can you point me to the product or video of you remember this?
Yea that was one of my videos but I have no clue which ones or where I got them. Sorry
@@beek did you make them or purchase them? After a little digging I did see some on the mannlake website but was wondering if they were the same?
My staff bought them somewhere at my request. They do not remember.
Can I feed my honey to my bee see where u answer other questions
Bob, I've been answering your question for a week. YES as long as the honey isn't contaminated with a disease harmful to bees.
Clever!! You're not left handed and you can't write backwards. Flipped your video, right?
Of course!
