Hi and thank you for showing your bee keeping methods. I was always wearing cover. I was amazed over how my own bees reacted when landing on my fluffy soft flece leggings. I think they considered me as a huge queen ofsome sort, they reallly calmed down and stayed long on that soft surface. If I should ever have bees again, I would make sure to have a suit made if velvet or flece again, as bees just love it. They never even tried to sting me.❤

When teaching beekeepers to cage queens we start by practicing with drones as you suggest . No risk of stings and they are pretty tough. It's not that hard , it just takes practice. When you can handle and cage a queen you can always keep her safe.

Why don’t you teach how to make splits without the cost of additional queens? I’m new and I have already made 6 splits without using a purchased queen. There is the queen cell method. There is the 1 day old larvae method, where the new hive will make a queen by themselves. These are the true methods of being self sustaining.

They believe their OHRBS breeding program is going to accelerate natural selection if everyone goes along with their program. They also want you to spend money on the OHRBS queens so their breeders continue to jump through the hoops rather than selecting for their own preferred traits. There seems to be a culture in beekeeping of assuming hobby and part time beekeepers are incapable of rearing an acceptable queen or managing varroa successfully.

Quick question. If I want to do your second method of splitting but do not have a queen to put in the split, will they figure out they are queen less and make a queen? Or maybe I could find a capped queen cell and put in there? Also how far does the split have to be from the original hive when I split it. thanks again!!!!
@willworthington
@willworthington 4 жыл бұрын
@@natserog good question. I eagerly await the answer too because I put an uncapped queen cell in a split from another hive the other day and a capped queen cell from another hive. Hope they both work out although I note Paul's preference is to put in a mated queen but I'm not that advanced yet. I only know how to make Queens by leaving eggs in a split and they make their own emergency queen cells. One thing I have to wonder though is when they make 5 emergency cells, can I use one of each of those cells and put them in 5 different splits.

Don't know if you got the photo Amie and I emailed, but wanted to tell you your lecture was great at EAS! I just started editing my photos and I'm looking forward to going through the ones I took of your lecture with my boyfriend (my beekeeping sidekick). My bees continue to do great, and we extracted one super of honey. They've got tons left for the winter, and they're still at it. (I slipped you a copy of my album because I remembered they were out in the car, and that I'd chosen that photo from your Beekeepers Olympics as a highlight of my life for the cover! That was my sanity project when I was in between full time work). And thank you for putting in a good word with my boss. Never hurts!

It would be very helpful, educational and informative on doing splits with out introducing a queen like you did on these 3 split methods in this video. And show some methods where bees make their own Queen in splits. Especially for Beekeepers who don't have access to extra Queens or not able to buy/order Queens from from Queen rearing Beekeepers.

Hi in OZ. Thanks Heaps! . I'm just back from a ski trip in western Canada. I'm surprised there is anyone left in Australia - lots of Australians working in the ski areas. Very nice folks.

📃 And your Lord has inspired the bees to build dwellings in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect, so follow humbly the paths of your Lord and eat of all the fruits from their bellies comes a drink of various colors, in which. there is healing for people. Indeed, this is a sign for a people who reflect 📃

Nice job and video. I do believe the bees can sense fear, which you obviously have none of, so they don't mess with you, or the guy that helps me with my hives. But me, I'm a little nervous and they can tell, and would be stinging me if not suited up. Especially when shaking them out like that. The meaner hive I have is from a swarm I caught and are a little ornery.

Thanks! You get more relaxed over time and are less jumpy. Quick movements are what defensive bees zero in on so in a way they see fear. See our stinging video.

That makes perfect sense as they normally get me on the hands. I did watch the stinging video and I guess I'm a wimp as I just don't want to get stung 5 or so times checking hives. I guess I'll continue to suit up and move a little slower. Thank you for your informative series.
