HEY LOVELY PEOPLE! I realized that I did not share one step for making NUCS!!! Always shake some extra bees into the Nuc box 💛💛💛

It's cold and dark here in the UK, so great to be reminded of spring, hope all is good and have a good Christmas!

In the process of installing 150 new queens from my splits, lot of work but so worth it. Thanks for the tips always something to learn in this business. California Beekeeper.

Yay Mrs. Bee, we learned a lot! Our dad let us get a Youtube now that I'm a teenager! Double Yay!

I winter single deep in shed, In spring i will add second deep. After time i will go back and shake them back down to bottom put excluder and set top box back on letting BEEs move back up. next day i will remove the top box and excluder and set another box with 6 comb and 4 empty frames to draw out. The box i pull is my split. Easy to add a cell to, add a capped cell on a frame you have or add a caged Queen. Easy splits and no looking for a Queen

I cannot wait to perform splits this year! This is only my second year of beekeeping but all 4 of my hives overwintered super well! I’m in Upstate NY though so I’ve got a bit before I can do them!

I live in Austin Texas. It was once a lovely place.
Now.
Not so much.
But---meh, can't stop 'progress.'s
Any-hoo, they're building houses like CRAZY around here.
I absolutely do NOT buy any lumber any more.
I've probably made 100 nucs out of Really good OSB called Zip Systems (it's the outer exterior sheathing.) It's crazy expensive...and I get it for free!
I make all my hive stands out of Free 2x6s too!
I'm to the point where I'm really picky about the grade of wood I get (it's plentiful!)
My bottom boards are also free! They're made out of Advantech (it's even more expensive than the Zip stuff). Still, I wouldn't recommend them for winter.
I use them to either sell nucs or for swarm traps.

I just had a lil bird flutter the top of my head/hair while watching this vid out on the balcony.
Shows how intent I was on listening... that or, a reminder the feeder needed freshening up.

Just subscribed. Just started viewing bee keeping vids yesterday. But, this.. is the first channel that really teaches & teaches well at that. Ty.

Always been terrified of bees, wasps & the like (When I was young I heard my aunt, who could be quite dramatic, talk about how my cousin could die if stung).

Fascinating stuff!!

I'm sure I'll find a vid, if you posted, on how to winter bees. I'm in Canada, so would be interesting.
Again thank you for sharing, and, taking time to teach.

Honey stead nurse bees are mostly on the frames of larva. They have to feed the larva every couple minutes so they are mostly on frames of open brood. I learned this from Kamon Reynolds. Great video the queen has an awesome pattern.

I found on my hives will take 3 to 4 days to eat the sugar plug but I have left the cork in for a few days then remove it which will give the queen 5 to 6 days in cage. I have direct released before to but normally they have been queenless for a few days and I watch and see how they react to her and I will come back about 30mins to and hour and check on her

Having all but one overwinter is awesome! I like the 3 days for the queens before releasing I will be watching to see if they all get accepted, As well being able to have 20 Nucs for other or new beekeepers is great to see! Another great video Thanks for sharing again!

Hoping to create a nuc from my backyard hive this year (won't be for a few more months here in Aus!). Some great tips you shared! particularly which frames you need. Also the queen clip is a great idea. Didn't really see a purpose of them until that demo.
Cheers and good luck with the new colonies!
