That Rooster needs an appointment with a roasting tin. Growing up farming we had a rule... "Loudest Rooster is closest to the pot".

On the drone layer, I would have cut a couple of those queen cells off and put them in it. OR put that frame yow didn't notice the cell on in there. Then they can recover faster.

Everybody needs a little burr comb from time to time. Helps keep it interesting lol

[TennesseeMountainBees]

Awesome video Jason! Also saw a queen cell on the previous frame in Sue at 6:57. Thank you for sharing. Been watching your videos for years buddy. I have learned so much from you! Thank you again!

[chuckcard]

[Benham_Design]

Nice!! I love watching you working your bees. You are a wealth of information. I did 2 splits like this earlier in the month. I saw queens in both hives. The one hive had a beautiful dark virgin queen. Then I heard a queen piping and looked some more and found 2 other virgin queens. Caught them in a queen clip. Went in the hive the next day and found another queen, not the dark queen I saw. I couldn't find her. So I'll wait a week and see who will be the queen of this colony. A dark queen or maybe the blonde queen. Beekeeping is never predictable 💖🐝

[russk]

Good video again. I see the price of queens is getting crazy. We all may have to start doing walkaway splits. Have a good week and calving season.

[bradgoliphant]

Great Video Jason, and I so appreciate the slowness and your gentleness of hive inspections. Bees deserve this. Question for you about queenless hives. Could I cage my queen in one of those 5" x 5" cages to get the bees to produce more honey for one month?

[whatever]

Thanks for the video Jason. It's looking good for new queens. Have fun & a great day.. I know you are busy so don't worry about a reply, just keep working, thanks again..

[karenwaitley]

Great video, got my bee's going again, they have alot of resources right now and are very busy, when it's not raining.
Waiting patiently for your video on the round frames you have, great gifts. $.

[planbeeapiaries]

3rd frame you took out has a queen cell bottom left corner, 4th frame also has on middle bottom ;)

[randysturgeon]

That looks good keep up the good work look like you are having fun today lol

[citrumpet]

Always enjoy your videos. Would it be better to shake the drone frame off, get rid of it and replace it with drawn comb? Might get rid of some mites in the process and have better comb for a new Queen to lay on. Just a thought.

[adamsoutdoors]

Caught a swarm on Mother’s Day. Got in them on Friday. Found the queen, she looks great. Frame I gave them was all laid up. Excited for my first season with bees.

[dsummerscm]

Those queen cells look promising! Hope you end up with mated queens out of it. (Can you tell I’m catching up on videos? 😉)

[hankbaker]

Nice Queen cell bottom left a 6:00 minutes in.

[matthunt]

Excellent video my friend, keep them coming. Thanks Matt

[jackmorgan]

You need to have a talk with your bees about making brood on the outside frames lol.
