How Late Can You Requeen A Beehive - Requeening Late In The Season - How to Requeen A Beehive

Black Mountain Honey is a No Nonsense Beekeeping Channel.

We are based in North Wales and manage around 150 colonies of bees, plus nucleus colonies.

We produce Great Taste Award winning honey and sell nucleus colonies to members of the public.

Our 6 frame overwintered nucleus colonies sell out very fast every year so early ordering is advisable.

We supply F1 Mated Buckfast and Jolanta Queens throughout the season. The UK Mated Jolanta Queens are reared using genetics used by the UK's biggest bee farmer - Murray McGregor - and are not available to general public, except through resellers like us! Check out our queens page on our website.

We are passionate about beekeeping and really enjoy helping beekeepers through our YouTube channel.

On our channel you can find information on making splits with swarm cells, making increase with queen cells, grafting larvae, foulbrood and disease inspection, honey extraction and machinery, top tips for beginners, products reviews, instructions and guidance plus much more.

#NO NONSENSE BEEKEEPING is a UK based beekeeping channel, designed to keep beekeeping as simple and enjoyable as possible. There are no overly complicated techniques or intricate pieces of equipment.

We cover all beekeeping topics ranging from queen rearing, disease recognition/control, honey extraction, swarm management/collection, how to make splits and much more!

My personal favourite aspects of beekeeping are selecting queens for rearing, rearing queens for mating, making up nucs for overwintering and collecting swarms.

We aim to bridge the gap between commercial and hobbyist beekeepers and cater for beekeepers of all experience levels.

Canada import a lot of bees from New Zealand. I can see that happening here now we've left the EU. Access to queens 12 months of the year! Another great video, thanks.

Another good reason to re-queen late is to create a brood break which greatly reduces the varroa mite population before winter hits.

Looking forward to the follow up video on her continued introduction and her performance in spring

Thank you mate for your great video from Australia. I'm wondering if feeding and spraying some syrup around the cage when introduce would help the bees accept her easier. That was confident to put a breeder with an angry coklony. The angrier black bees have some nasty venom. I got stung on ear and hand by a few yesterday

Some amount of videos lately, well done

Really interesting video, again, with great insights.
I have a hive with little to no brood - and no spare resources from other hives.

If I can confirm it is queenless - can I re-queen with little to no brood?

How long does 2:1 sugar syrup keep when in the hive with the bees feeding on it? Do the microbes from the bees make it go bad faster? They are sticking their mouth parts into it, so I wondered,

So, relatively, mild for Mid-November I thought you'd made within the last few days, Lawrence.

hey man another awesome video - I'm having some problems with my comments on YouTube at the moment so sorry if you get a couple from me! Hope you are well :)

Any reason why your boxes are dark in colour?
