These are the very type of beekeepers that we all need to listen to and learn of their natural ways of doing things. Thanks.

[AdmiringApron-ebnu]

That is one of the better videos I’ve ever seen on queen rearing. Thanks Steve

I wish I had watched your video first. Thank you for walking through each step explaining as you worked. So many "experts" on you tube do not have competent communication skills and skip steps in the process. I prefer old school approaches as well. I never understood why so many try to reinvent the wheel. Thank you again Steve!!!

Like many experts in their field, you make it look so very easy.
As a newbie beekeeper, I appreciate just how difficult it is to achieve what you're doing.
Thanks ever so much for sharing your expertise.

The way you ensure your Queen Cell is amazing.

This man’s calmness with that many bees and no gloves on is so impressive

Kind words, thanks very was very lucky to hook up with very skilled beekeepers early in my bee time and I'm grateful. The worker egg hatches in 3 days, gets fed Royal Jelly immediately....I think what we graft are only a few hours old. They grow approach is to contain the queen with an excluder trap with a comb to catch good grafting material....tried it and didn't like it....better to let her lay and hunt the good stuff down.
Thanks again, greatly appreciated.

I started out bee keeping in the mid sixties an never thought I wanted to do grafting but the prices in today’s world it is just about a have to now . I did my splits but that takes to long on getting a queen back to keeping a hive strong for production. Thanks for your video’s keep up the great work. THANKS

Thank you Steve, excellent job explaining the process of queen rearing.

[carrollrhodes]

Great video. Thank you. Each one of those cells will head-up a new nucleus, nuc, or replace a depleted queen. I hope you show us the mating and inspection to see the new queens at work.
