What is the date that you start grafting queens?
-
what do you do with those 3 frame starter hives after you take away the queen? 8:10 in video

If i was to make queens i would incubate them..
-
Hey very nice set up mon! One day I'll be doing some of that for my project. Thanks for sharing.

Hey crew;
Could you show a more visual look / construction of how you have the Queen in cages in the final holding hive. -

just staring beehives in Northern Washington --- 4500 foot elevation --- cold and lack of flowering plants are challenges --- thank you Sleeping Bee Farms --- for the excellent information --- your beehive managing techniques are presented very well ---
-
they have a cap over the sugar candy hole. So they cant get the queens out.
-
a little confused about the end of the video where you keep many queens in jzbz cups in a single hive. what if the bees releases all the queens at once by eating through the sugar? how do you prevent this from happening
-
Very helpful video here, thank you for sharing.
-
thats amazing that you get 100% of the grafted cells to develop queens. I have done about 100 cells in 4 lots, and I only get, at best, 50%. Do you know of any good resources on the internet on grafting? And what are the main reasons for the cells not to develop in to queens?
-
If you give a drone royal jelly it still becomes a drone. Drones are feed royal jelly to at the beginning as well as the normal bee.

Best video yet and I've suffered many, Good job , Question on an average how many queens do you lose to mating flight ? Did you dab each Queen cell with royal jelly or just what was in comb cell with larva as you removed them ?
