Commercial Beekeeper and Queen Breeder, Jose Uribe, heads out to the bee yard in Butte County to place cells into our mini styrofoam mating nucs. Although this video was shot back in July we are still breeding through September.
As Jose in en route to the yard, he is concerned by some feces that he spots on the side of the road. Thinking it is possibly bear poop, he stops to inspect it closer. Upon inspection, he finds the teeth of an animal in the poop. As we later found it, it luckily was likely coyote poop, and not from a bear.
Upon arrival at the mating yard, Jose begins to plug cells into the mini mating nucs and comes across one that has been eaten out by small ants. This has been an ongoing issue this whole season and why we switched to this yard from another location to begin with. It seems we cannot escape the ants unless we are out in the open- away from the oak trees- but unfortunately the nucs are not doing well at all in the direct sun either.
If you placed a queen order with us this year… thank you! We are passionate about what we do and are planning on making a big difference in the industry.
