- Marking a queen honey bee has many benefits when it comes to beekeeping and managing a colony or beehive.
I show you how to capture and mark a queen bee during a beehive inspection, as well as an update during the 5th week hive inspection of this new colony.
Join me on my adventure of beekeeping 101, as I climb the learning curve and do my best to treat these bees right.

Bees were acquired from Woodland Bee Co. These are Italian bees. They came with the pollen patty included.

Good job, clear plan for the inspection. Most definitely need to think about it before opening the hive.
Wow! Now you have a red Queen.
Glad I have found this channel, great content !
I really appreciate you saying that :)
great video... in post processing/editing phase of the video you should mark with a red circle or something similar where the queen is at on that frame where you ask the viewers if they spot the queen... 6:15
me, I think I've seen it, but for clear confirmation, a marker would help the viewers...
Thanks for the comment! That's great feedback and I’ll be sure to include it next time
You shouldn't puff your smoker so hard. Blows flames and hot smoke. Small pools with cold smoke
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll do my best to go easy on it next time :)
I always keep the top of my smoker full of nearby greens (weeds, grass, leaves) keeps the smoke cool and stops sparks etc
Fra too long an inspection, too much smoke..How to stress bees.
