I love that you don’t measure your success on external factors that are outside of your control.
Thank you for all your queen rearing videos. They are well explained and demonstrated clearly. I shall try queen rearing next season.

I am really enjoying the content you are putting out this year. I need to step up my channel but as you know trying to record and work bees at the same time is very time consuming. Time that I don't always have. I have a lot of 2 frame nuc boxes that I use for emergency slits, but I built some 3 framers a couple of years ago and if I have enough recourses for planned mated queen splits I use those for the added time benefit and makes for stronger 5 frame nucs when I move them up. Opened a big colony today with emerging queens. Found 7 queens and 4 queen cells. Made 11 splits. Caught it just in time, finding 7 queens running around in a Deep and 3 med packed full of bees, That took some time. 10 cells will be ready from my first graft ever come Tuesday. But the timing of the cold front coming to south Ga. Monday and Tuesday has me concerned. Emerging day would be Friday. I may wait till Wednesday afternoon to move the cells. Keep up the great content Thank You

Hello love your channel. Thank you for all the great advice.
About your 4way 2frame mating boxes. What are you using for a bottom board?

[BucksBeesS.C.]

Are you grafting or letting bees make queens. Walk away? Might have missed your other videos. Just found and subscibed

[BucksBeesS.C.]

Dragon flys not really a issue here now. Another month and they will come after our queens along with other things. Hope you the best

I love your channel! So informative. I recently had a problem with newly installed mated queens flying off. Why does this happen and how can I prevent it? Thanks!

Do you have 1/8" screens on the bottoms?😁

Is it true that a virgin queen wont mate with male from same hive?
