I purchased a mated queen here last week. Packed well, and shipped quickly. Queen was marked, but she was shy so it took a minute to find her - she was not much larger than her attendants. Love the queen trap!! Installed her as instructed here on Wednesday, can't wait to get back in there next week to see if she has started laying.

This is the best simple guide for introducing the queen that I've seen on YT. Thank you.

Finally a Well explained video. I p!aced queen cages today in 2 colonies and my bees seemed aggressive. I will wait to see what happens over the next week.I hope her being in there a couple days they will calm down and accept them.

aaaawww I wish I had known that you were in San Diego because I would have loved to take classes with you and learn more about bee keeping. Now I moved to Washington state and even though there are bee keepers around here, they are not active since it's the winter and it gets really cold here. But your video was very cool and educational. Thank you for sharing!

The only thing I would do different is have the tube on the cage at the top. Just in case a worker dies it doesn’t block the candy plug.

Hi love your videos I have been in bee keeping since I was 7 years old my grandfather had 200 hives in Europe .
I am starting my own in Texas do you sell started kits ?

Nice Queen release video... BTW you like the top bar hive better than Langstrof hive? Just getting ready to start

[linslins]

I installed queen bee last week and seems theres some issues. I need to reinstall her, is that possible? She looks corrupted and the hive is crashing due to errors and bugs.
