Lol the queen was on the frame as you were saying you weren’t looking for her. It’s amazing how you can tell your mind that and can look right over it. I do it all the time.

It’s hard to get my head around the magnitude of your operation. Watching you go through the everyday workings of a business with its good times and it’s bad times and how you persevere is remarkable. As a hobbyist it’s ok for me to understand the lingo but to comprehend the time frame from winter to spring to fall to winter in your world… I can’t. What I do see is perseverance and as a Canadian that is encouraging.

There are some of my favorite videos, where you go through boxes and just talk about bees and what you see. Thanks for the variety and the great info Ian!

Now I'm starting to understand a hive I had one year that I named Frankenhive. I added a new queen, who would be laying away, and they would supersede her. The new queen they made would start laying, and they would supersede her! This went on for several iterations until they finally settled on one.

These new queens seem to be doing great! :) Wonder how Italian queens fare in Canadian winters 🤔 I decided to take a look at my mating nuc. After opening 3 and seeing no eggs I decided to give them another week. The anticipation is kinda stressful 🤣. We have a flow going on now, the supers I gave them are getting slowly drawn. Just waiting on the basswood to bloom for things to get interesting!

I swear I saw a cup or cell on the 2nd or 3rd frame. At about 40 seconds in. Hope you didn’t miss it. 😬

I’m wanting to try your style of using combined nucs with honey supers on top. Never done it and nervous about the queens being killed during the combine. Any tips ? ? or just throw the supers on and go to the lake?
