Your videos are very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your technique. I'm happy to have subscribed to your channel & look forward to watching more of your videos. Best of success to your and your bees!! 🐝🐝🐝☮️☯️
Richard, I really want to thank you for sharing this method in one of your previously posted vids. On my second attempt, I successfully managed to get 21/25 cell acceptance. I’m very excited to be able to multiply my hives on my own vs buying queens every year. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
MrBobberino01 thanks for your kind comments and reports of your success! It gives me a great feeling knowing someone has been successful, followed the method and has great results! 🙏
Love watching you helping the bees to help you rather than making them help you regardless. You make it look so easy, i think thier temprement helps a lot, stops you getting flustered. Its amazing how the queen is easy visable when its not the job at hand to find her, and imposible to find when you need to. thanks for sharing.
Great, really pleased your seeing good results. Hope your able to tweet it to be specific to you, your frames and your area. That’s what it’s all about! Max Jelly, max food = max queens!!💯👌🏻🐝🐝
yes i use the starter box, (the one you see me put together in this box)then move the started cells to various finishers, max of 14 ( one cell bar) per finisher. see my other video, the cell builder explained. it goes through each process in more detail.
Richard Noel ok that makes sense. I did watch both of your other videos on the subject. I don’t need a ton of queens so I’ll probably use this method to finish also. Reassemble the colony with the excluder between boxes. I need about 10-15 cells at a time.
Hello Richard this bee thing is a bit harder than I expected I'm enjoying it but it's not simple. I've learned two things in my first week never buy a cheap bee suit and my bees hate me. On the upside though they are doing well.
I am glad you made another video on cell building. Really good stuff. I hope you will make the follow up videos of removing the cells etc. Thanks, PS Did you ever find the queen? It really gets under my skin when I really want, or need to find her but can not. I. bet you feel the same way. Hang tough my friend! Phillip Hall
ok will do, thanks for your kind comments. will try and do ne removing the cells to finishers, then moving them on from there. You think you're covered it, then someone asks a question which opens it up all again.
I don’t have the resources you have, so this is not an option for me. If you set up three hives just like your cell builder, you won’t have to look for a queen (we would anyway) yet move one, shake one and add one. Is that possible? The top box of brood is what I am talking about, sorry I have many questions! Thank you for your service to all of Humanity! Honey bees are the only thing that feeds us all, even if many don’t realize it.
oh maybe they're acting a little crazy because you keep killing them every time you set something down or every time you slam the box down on the other ones and kill some more talking about the bees when you are slamming the boxes down and when you put that one that you were looking for the queen in on top of that other box there were bees under there that you smash they send out pheromones when they get killed by something just send help and then the others, and sting you because they think you're coming toward the hive
Lol, you say you don't have time to look for the queen, just shake bee's in shaker box, so now your trying to find the queen in 5 frames of bee's at once now they are all in the box?? I think I'd rather look for queen 1 frame at a time instead of looking in all those bee's that have just been shaken..
I see your point but in reality she's so much easier to find, seeing her trying to get her head down between the plastic queen excluder, you would agree if you tried this.!
Thank you for sharing your beekeeping knowledge, I have learnt so much and really enjoy your professional videos.
Your videos are very informative. thanks again
I'll never tire of this video.
Joseph Woodall thanks Joseph!!
Nice details shared and thank you! I’d like to see a video of your grafting and adding them.

Thanks for your kind comments Tim, i hope do do more videos over the coming month. I am glad to share what I've been taught.
Thank u Richard. You are super
Like your camera angle
Got a new tripod, makes a big difference. its just on top of the adjacent hive. Thanks.
That’s a good video
Thanks Ian, were all doing the same stuff but in a different way. Ive really enjoyed yours recently, when i get a few minutes to watch them!!
Great Richard, and thanks again.

Derek Greenhalgh so true Dereck!
This really works great. I started doing mine this way and I'm having great results

Thanks we been talking on Facebook
Rougarou Bee company have sent you a PM
Tx for another excellent video of making cell starter.
Love your enthusiasm, willingness to share and your ability to get straight to the point . 👍😀
So do you graph put them in the cell builder, then graph again the second day and place them in the same cell builder? Do you remove the first graphs?
yes i use the starter box, (the one you see me put together in this box)then move the started cells to various finishers, max of 14 ( one cell bar) per finisher.

Thanks Richard that was very informative. I have just got my first hive hope to do the cell builder next year
So glad you did this video again. The others worked for me. This just reinforced my workflow! Thanks Richard!
I'm so glad you made another video about setting up a cell builder ;)
Looks like you've got some nosy bees lol. Great video, your method of cell building is what I've adopted into my apiary.

You have to remember the QCD. Something that all Queens use when you want to see one of them. What is QCD? It's of course the Queen Cloaking Devise.
Henrik Andersen Romulan genetics!!😉😂
@@richardnoel3141 Romulan genetics, I would think is better than klingon genetics. I imagine they could be less than cooperative

but I guess when you have that many bees you can afford to kill him
Glad you found a queen clip😉, as the norm a very informative vid great use of resources available and emphasise on queen less 🤔
Good lad 👍

Totally usless instruction. Bell the queen.
Hammer Candy why is it so useless when hundreds of people around the globe use this or similar methods ?
