Darren, you already have an existing queen! Congrats 🎈 Bees do what they do. 😊

@JeromeBeeFarm Ай бұрын

Hi Niki. I'm wondering if that hive didn't have two queens. It's rare, but does happen. That might explain the crazy amounts of brood it had.

@nikigores8774 Ай бұрын

@Vermicompost Ай бұрын

So good to see that queen looked alright!! Very cool clip of shaking the bees off in the beginning and end of the video!!🪱🪱🪱

@JeromeBeeFarm 27 күн бұрын

Hey Patrick! Yes, she looked good, but failed shortly thereafter. All 3 queens did in fact. They survived the shipping, but the heat damaged their bee lady parts, so they didn't make it. Fortunately, wildflower Meadows sent me 3 new ones and they got installed Wednesday. These were in much better condition. I have some cucumber peels I froze for the wormies. I'm assuming that's a slow food. (Along with a lot of strawberry tops). I side dressed all my tomatoes with the 5 gal plus of castings this week as well. Take care and stay cool!

I enjoy your channel. I'm about 200 miles southwest of you in Texas where we experience many of the same issues. Mainly with pissy bees and extreme heat. Keep 'em coming.

@JeromeBeeFarm Ай бұрын

Hey Clifford. Welcome to the channel. Yeah, the heat is about to get challenging. Close to 100 a few days here and honey harvest coming soon. Thanks for watching!

Thanks MinnesotaBeek! It was kinda spontaneous. Those frames had nectar in them and some robbing started on them, and I gave them a fling! LOL I put them up in the freezer for safe keeping.

Hope the queens al get accepted and do well. I am looking forward to the follow up on the one that was lethargic. The pissy hive seems to have clamed way down. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Got a follow up coming. They seemed good at first, then not so much. Stay tuned.

If you will add a piece of plywood on top of the hives it will help with the cooling of the hive.

Thanks for watching Frances. I'll look into getting some carnies. I'm hearing a lot of good comments about them.

Darren, I hope all of your new mamas does exceptionally well! I’ve been doing some research on bees bearding when it’s hot and I’ve come to the conclusion that those girls outside are sunbathing to get a tan. lol. If you you believe that then I have some ocean front beach property that I want to sell you in Oklahoma! 2x lol!

@jeffcotton2235 Ай бұрын

Some beekeepers have stated that sometimes two queens will coexist in a hive with no issues. Apparently this is what has happened here.

@JeromeBeeFarm Ай бұрын

I think that is the case because I never saw any emergency queen cells after I removed that queen. Thanks for watching.

@billyboy952 Ай бұрын

surprise, surprise Darren have you ever tried screened inter covers? i have been using them for about 10 years and they make a big difference in the faster time they cap honey and keeping the hives cooler. if not just try 1 and see. take care buddy. 😏😏

@JeromeBeeFarm Ай бұрын

Yeah, I have a couple of screened inner covers and I've used them. The bees try to propolize them shut, so I don't use them any more. Maybe I left them on too long.

@billyboy952 Ай бұрын

@@JeromeBeeFarm i only use them for about 3 months then take off, they do propolizse them around the edges a little, but in the wintertime when the propolis gets hard it scrapes off very easy. that is your free tip today, Darren! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@rtxhoneybees Ай бұрын

I'd be surpised if Wildflower Meadows doesnt replace that queen. They get alot of visability on your channel. Why is the queen a blue dot? That is next years color. BTW, that style of queen cage will open up wide for a direct release. You open the small door, then the part with the candy will open.

@JeromeBeeFarm Ай бұрын

Hey RTX. They stand behind their queens. They are sending me three new ones tomorrow.
