- This is the second part of our Stevens’ queen production method. We pull out cells that we grafted last week, and remove any emergency cells from our cell builders so they’re ready for the next round of grafts.
She just had to point that one out and burst your bubble. 😂
Of course! 🤣
Us small time guys dream about that kind of acceptance!
Great job!
Good looking cells Cory. Remember I requested the jumbos…
Nice work- thanks for the demonstration...can almost smell the queens now!
Hot damn Cory ! I think you should make more this year ;) Beautiful Camera work
The cell builder in the corner @4:26 looks pretty good 👍
🤣😎
Nice take Cory! So glad you are sharing your hands-on experiences with us.
Like several others, I really appreciate that you are sharing your process and success! 👍
Wow , what a success. Thanks for sharing .
Great Job
Good looking queen cells. Well done!
Nice cells
Cory- looking good!!! I started scrubbing down my AI station and equipment this week (on a rainy day).
Great stuff Cory. Interesting to see the process.
Nice looking cells. I’m looking forward to getting my queens from you soon. The ones I got from you last year are really good layers and gentle.
You are the man! I believe your going to change the queen game for the better! Cant wait for my queens.
As you grow older marking dates gets more important. Those cells look terrific!
Great job they look real good thank you for sharing
They are looking good!
Coming right along!
They look great.
Good success to you!
Great start to the year Cory ! 👏
Cory, I can't tell if it's your mic setup or its just that your soft spoken, but could you please up the volume.
Got some wireless mics on order. Thanks David
grafted 20 on Sunday and checked them yesterday, 12 took. pretty good for my first time grafting and setting up my first cell builder. I am on your wait list, hoping you have plenty to get down to me. Would love to introduce your VHS traits into our NC area.
can't wait
Great job Cory
Have you thought about selling nucs in the future?
I have sold quite a few over the years. I’m hoarding them now since I’m expanding to go full time. I may sell more open mated nucs and II breeder nucs in the future.
I just subscribed to your you tube channel and I am a backyard bee keeper in Tennessee near Knoxville. I seen a video that Bruce bees was showing some virgin queens he got from you and I am wondering what kind or kinds of bees you have?
They’re my own line of VSH selected bees I call Missouri Mite Hunters. They’re mostly Italianish.
Hey Cory was wondering when you add your second round of grafts do you add a frame of larva a day before to get the nurse bees to be able to produce royal jelly again or is it not a concern?
I don’t add any brood. There’s new nurse bees emerging for the next three weeks, and after that I retire them and split them with a queen cell or virgin.
I’m looking at getting one of those foxhound bee jackets. What size are you wearing in the videos? And how do you like it?
Mine is a medium. I like it a lot. (The color, the zip open veil to get a drink, the Velcro adjustable cuffs) My only request is they would add a Velcro flap on the billow pockets. When I bend over to pick up stuff, the contents often bails.
@@stevensbeeco767 Thanks for the response. The sizing chart is saying I’m a large but I wear XL tshirts. Your medium looks pretty roomy so a large may work for me.
Looking good Cory, just emailed you
very cool...what model of frame holder is that Cory?
I noticed it looked nice too!
They’re the old Walter T Kelley frame grips. I love them. 😎
What is the bee jacket you are useing?
We got some new jackets this year from Foxhound Bee Co
Will the queens emerge in the incubator in the cell protectors?
Yes. And we transfer them to candy cages asap.
@@stevensbeeco767 with attendants ?
@@burleybeeyard I add attendants within 48 hrs.
Hey how can I go about getting some of your Queens
Is your incubator home made?
It’s a Dickeys cabinet Hatcher. Made by Dickey’s incubators in GA.
Any secret to reusing JZBZ cups.
I don’t reuse them. Some do, but the small sampling I did, the take wasn’t as high for some reason. Even if I have one miss and don’t have a $25 dollar virgin queen to sell, I can buy a lot of cups for that. Not worth the effort or labor to clean in my humble opinion.
How do I get on your waiting list
You can go to the item in our web store and request a back in stock notification. When I add inventory, it will notify you immediately
Cory gets 29/30……comes back with “its gonna be better next week”. That’s just rude!
🤣
