  • Beekeeping. Finding your queen is probably the most frustrating part of beekeeping. You need to find her to ensure the colony is okay, but it can be hard to find her. I'll find the queen in two new colonies. Hi, I'm certified master beekeeper David Burns from Long Lane Honey Bee Farms. Beekeeping is fun. Why not become a beekeeper?

    Maybe a dumb idea, but ... Regarding finding the queen. The one that came with the package I ordered had a little dot painted on the back. Why not use fluorescent paint so you can use a UV flashlight (cost about $5 on Amazon). I find small coolant leaks on the car engine this way - it's dirt simple and fast.

    What is different that you should be looking for when you look for your queen? I think they are bigger, is that correct?

    Do you ship queens to Texas and would the difference in climate be a problem (Really hot in Texas)

    • @beek
      @beek  7 років тому +1

      We ship queens anywhere in the US. Climate makes no difference.

    My question is where can I find some jars like you use for sugar syrup 32oz jar with regular mouth sizes? Thanks.

    • @beek
      @beek  7 років тому

      Aren't most quart canning jars small mouth? Maybe walmart?

    • @stuckinbabylon186
      @stuckinbabylon186 7 років тому

      David Burns I have had a hard time finding big jars without the large mouth. An older beekeeper friend of mine said he bought a bunch of jars just like the one you have in the video from a soda bottling factory a long time ago. Just thought I'd ask you. Thanks.

    • @beek
      @beek  7 років тому

      Well, maybe the one you are talking about is my big half gallon with small mouth. I've got a ton of them that I bought from a beekeeper who went out of business.

      I picked up a 64-oz (1/2 gal) large mouth mason jar at Target for $6. You can get 12-32-oz mason jars at Target for < $10.

    mr david wiche will you recommend buying a nuc or a package

    • @beek
      @beek  7 років тому

      Both have pros and cons. I prefer packages because you are not getting comb. Most diseases are in the comb, like American Foul Brood etc. A good nuc provider will have his nucs inspected and mostly new comb.

    • @arnoldgrief5498
      @arnoldgrief5498 7 років тому

      thank you , when i inspected one of the hives last week i saw the queen fall about 12 inches down into the lower brood chamber would falling kill her i noticed yesterday that the workers have drawn out queen cells and am a bit concerned that the original queen may have died i did not see her the last time i checked
