This isn’t the dating video I thought it was

Thanks David. I'm one of those that has a hard time identifying the queen. This helps!

[mshanklin]

Thank you for these tips. I'm usually pretty good at finding our unmarked queen, but the last time we inspected I never found her. We'll be back in the hive this weekend and I WILL find her this time! Fortunately we saw eggs and larvae, so we know she was there somewhere.

Last inspection our queen was hiding on the green drone comb and in an empty drone cell. She stayed in the cell for 5 minutes while we executed a mite test. It's like she knew we were gonna pick her up

In 42 years I have been stung by a queen twice.Its a lot different than worker bees.Its just a little sharp stick and thats all.Dont be scared of a queen sting as it almost doesnt happen nor hurt.

This brought a question to my mind. I'm anticipating having my first hive next year so I haven't yet seen it myself, but a lot of people use a queen excluder so that she doesn't lay in the supers. Do you think the queen excluder contributes to potential swarming if she runs out of room to lay eggs?

I marked a queen but bees jump on it cover her, I think suffocation will eminent and I risqué her. Do u think is better to keep the queen in a cage 2-3 days or something else to do with her? Anyone can help me with an advice?

[dijonwhitmore]

Hi David. Could you do a video on different ways to mark queens and your thoughts on them. I can't pick up my queen because i have to wear gloves and im nervous about picking her up. This was a great video👍

[naturalwitchery]

I am TERRIFIED to try and mark my queen! I'm so afraid I will kill her 😮
