Not had bees in years. Retired now and getting a nuc next weekend. My hive would look great on that Beetle Buster. Thanks for all of your help and input through UA-cam. So glad that I found your vids.
As a new beekeeper, I love your content. I really like how you explain the methods and caveat that there are other ways to do it but this is what works best for you
Six days ago I did my first ever graft, checked them today after live streaming Church services to my folks, and I have 17 out of 30 cells. I praise the Lord for a first try and getting seven more that I hoped I would achieve. Keep teaching us your labors are paying off. Blessings!
Always love your videos, you spend so much effort in helping others, don't know where you find the time. Just show your passion, I would have said your love but she is always behind the camera!! Here in N.E. Texas Beetles play havock on our hives.
I am a first year beekeeper from South Africa and want to thank you for all your great advise I love your videos and will soon try out grafting queens can’t wait. 🙂
Thanks for the great video. I am a beekeeper and do my own grafting but often watch what others do on UA-cam I mainly breed my queens using the Cloake board method
As a beginner in my 2nd. Year I truly do appreciate your videos, especially this one. For I was getting ready to try to raise my own queens. Thank you.
More info about the Beetle Buster can be found here! www.beetlebusterbeekeeping.com/ Here is the queen rearing video prior to this one! ua-cam.com/video/4YmOO3DuH7I/v-deo.html Here is Part 3 ua-cam.com/video/tJHj-UaUNMs/v-deo.html
First I would like to say you are making some great lesson videos. 2cd i am a new bee keeper and I'm learning a lot from just watching you. I am going to build me a couple nucs just so I can rob me some capped brood to boost my honey hives.. I would also like to be entered to win the Beatle buster even though I never win anything. Lol Thanks kamon
Every time I go to Dadant the staff is always talking good about. On the first receipt I got from buying a hive they made sure to write your name down so I could watch your UA-cam! Thank you so much for your videos, this is my first year beekeeping and this information has been helpful. I have already went back to Dadant 3 times, with an open wallet - couldn’t stop at buying one hive. Take care and hope you keep this channel going!
Kamon, I’m taking this all in but an old nervous, almost blind man like me would probably stick the grafting tool though my other hand or go after one larvae and get one from a capped cell. Thanks for the video!
Perhaps we can get the next series going soon on graftless queen rearing and hopefully that works well. Going to take a second to get it setup but it would be fun and educational!
Yeah, emergency queen response works great. Throw a frame of brood and young larvae into a 5 frame nuc with nurse bees and in less than 24 hours they have already started new queen cells. Really simple if you need to queenright only one or two hives. They'll make easily 5-10 queen cells on one frame. You can also cut those queens out from that hive of 5-10 queen cells before one hatches and kills all the other queens, and put that peanut onto another queenless hive's frame and there you have it. Good luck.
Don, check out the Nicot system in that case . Follow the included directions to a “T” and you should have good luck. Actually that goes for the complete process - a string of simple but each very important steps which must follow a strict time schedule. Kit is a bit pricey but you can find knockoffs on Amazon. If you go that route and the system works for you, invest in the Nicot.
Thanks, my kids and I watch your videos when it’s kiddos bed time, They always ask for ‘bee videos’. Keep up the great work, my local beekeeper club keeps sharing your videos, usually the ones we have already seen. 🐝
Thanks for all you do!! Always enjoy your videos, very educational. 2nd year and I love my girls!!!! Would love to try that darn beetle buster! Thanks Lauren and Kamon
New beekeeper here. Watching your videos has given me more insight into this venture than in class classes I took or talking to local beekeepers. I have started to quote you to other beekeepers and have told everyone to watch your youtube videos. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
David you are too kind and it is very humbling to hear you say that. We hope to perfect our craft more as time goes on and perhaps we can help others enjoy beekeeping as much as we do!
great video i watched all youre vidoes . i studied for 1 year and took a bee course now i have bees .i live in n.e ohio im a bee haver im 62 started a little late in life but it is a good thing in my life always liked bees started with mason bees last year got 25 cocoons now have 83 lol but i got a nuc last week they can out 6 days latter o my it was soo kool yes in hooked now tanks for the imfo and im 5.5 keep up the good imfo ty mike
Nice! I’ve been working up the guts to try some queen grafting this year. After watching this video I don’t know what I am nervous about- Seems very doable. Thank you for breaking it down so clearly and making us know it’s really not so scary.
Tried grafting for the first time last week. 2 of 8 were successful. I think my box setup was a bit inadequate. With your help the next ones will do better. Thanks for the great videos.
Very good video, best frame choice, best larve to use, the German tool, Insulated top, All great information. Thanks and keep making educational videos.
This is my first month bee keeping, this video is very informative I plan to try grafting my own queens someday I will be referencing this video again.
It's 2021 when I found this video, this year I am going to graft some so I can get some of my own queens. I first had Bees back in the mid-80s & never wanted to graft until now. So thank you for giving me some great ideas on getting started. I have made several Mini Nucs & a friend who has had Bees for many many years gave me his styrofoam Mini Nucs. I also so several Queen Castels ready to go, hello Spring.
Thank you for all this information on grafting. Watched several of your videos now...Very informative and it gives me the confidence to try it for the 1st time this year.
Great, clear photography! This video makes everything I've read and listened to on queen grafting make sense! Thank you! (I now think I can give this a try!)
Thank you Kamon for these videos i have been a bee keeper for many years but i have never tried to graft my own queens, i have always just pulled a frame of eggs and larvae from one hive and put it in the queen less hive as needed. I am wanting to split several of my hives and need queens so i really appreciate you going into detail on how to do it.
5+ STARS VIDEO!!!!! This is my second time buying bees-I wasn't educated about mites and killing them. Man you videos are FANTASTIC you teach very well and are easy to follow along. Wish I could have seen your videos last year I could have been taught about mites! Maybe even saved them! Lost my bees but so now we found your very important and educational videos. I had a stroke and now I'm desire to learn and train myself a new hobby as well as to enjoy SWEET HONEY! I am hunting down videos your all the time!! Even 60 year-old docs like me can learn from the younger generation!! Thank you for your time and effort!! Time for me to raise some queens and watch for ores!
I am not a beekeeper and have no hives but I am seriously considering trying it. Your videos are great and thank you for them

Hive beetle buster for the win.!! Learned so much from this channel. One of my go to mentors for bee keeping tutorials.

Great video! Thanks for all the time you spend on these!
I like it when people down south say "Fix'n"
We like it too. Especially when we use it in regards to momma or Grandmama or Laurel is making dinner with all the fixin's
We say that or “bout to”
I really appreciate your queen rearing videos very informative .Awesome job on the camera laurel.
I'm "fixin" to start queen rearing within the next two weeks!!
Thanks, my kids and I watch your videos when it’s kiddos bed time, They always ask for ‘bee videos’. Keep up the great work, my local beekeeper club keeps sharing your videos, usually the ones we have already seen. 🐝
Throw my name in the hat. Also, might think about a clip on macro lense for your phone for those close-ups.
Great help! Going to try it out myself. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Do you put the cups into a hive for a day or so to be “polished” first, before grafting?
I don't Paul and I find they work great straight out of the bag!
These videos are very information and I am learning a ton thanks for sharing your knowledge
Enjoying very much about grafting. Always wanting to learn about, nows my chance. Thanks!
