In this week's hive inspection, join me as I check on the Purple Hive, where the queen was on the brink of demise last week. To my astonishment, I discover not only signs of the queen's survival but also a surprising development-multiple eggs and queen cells! 🐝
It seems like the hive is faced with a critical decision: whether to replace the ailing queen or embark on a swarming journey. As a beekeeper, deciphering the hive's intentions is crucial. Join me in unraveling this intriguing mystery and figuring out the best course of action for the Purple Hive's future. 🌼

I really liked that opening, those were some real cool clips.👍 Nice pollen and nectar going.😁 I saw eggs. Crazy bees those are nice frames of brood, they make things so difficult sometimes.😂

That is weird. Normally i see swarm cells when the beehive is packed. I hope that if they do swarm, that you can catch them. 🤞🤞🤞

I don’t think that queen has long to go. If they swarm I might let them go

Looks like she is doing a good job to me, but I figured out bees are better bees them me.😂 Mine did that last season but I had poor bread queens from a crappy Spring.

I’d be concerned that there are not enough resources for them.

@aussiebeekeeping 8 ай бұрын

I’m concerned they are honey bound and that’s why they have swarm cells.

@rtxhoneybees 8 ай бұрын

Im leaning toward supercedure. Not enough bees, didnt see drones. I think i saw 2 of thise pesky small capped queen cells at 2:53. They looked like emergency cells. Thise produce stuby little queens.

@aussiebeekeeping 8 ай бұрын

When I was editing I was seeing it in a different light. There weren’t many bees and the hive was packed with nectar. I was thinking they could have already swarmed. But I’m sticking to the idea of Supersedure for now. I thought those cells were dodgy drones. I’ve never seen small queen cells. Thanks man.

@rtxhoneybees 8 ай бұрын

I don't often see drones isolated like that. I've seen plenty of stubby little queen cells that don't turn down. @@aussiebeekeeping

No swarm… find the Queen and put her in a new box… and let the rest of the hive make a new Queen

@aussiebeekeeping 8 ай бұрын

Taking brood from this hive would certainly send it into a spiral. And I’m sure the box with this queen would probably fail as well. As I said in the video. No swarm.

@ericmanteuffel6403 8 ай бұрын

Since you have fresh eggs (all look to be 1-2 days old) and no capped swarm cells, scrape off all the queen cells and cups. Come back in a week and you will know if they are truly trying to supersede her, or wanting to swarm. No harm in removing those cups/cells, as there are fresh eggs that can be turned into new queens (if that is the colony's true intent). They should not swarm without queen cells pheromones present.

There were Supersedure cells last week I busted.

@ericmanteuffel6403 8 ай бұрын

@@aussiebeekeeping If that is the case, I would just leave them then. And if she is healthy enough, she will kill the new queens.
