Recently did my first split and now I have 5 virgin queens banked in the living room 😂 18 queen cells later still have too do a final inspection too make sure there’s no sisters fighting, what a work of art they are! 🐝

Watching from subtropical Australia where beekeeping is an awful lot simpler. You are an excellent teacher, I pick up so many handy tips watching you work and you keep it clear and simple, much appreciated. Cute.

Did that this last sunday to 28. Where easy splits tho as i did it VIA second deep like IAN. 28 cells dropped that evening in them and the new graft 26 took so will be doing 26 more splits soon. Take care both of you and stay safe. I used 6 frame nukes tho that in 14 days the ones that mated will be put on a 2 way pallet to grow to wonderful hives

Next week is my queen rearing time. In ‘50’s today. Boxes are bursting with bees. Caught 2 swarms. I have 3 three way mating Nucs plus several nuc boxes. So far so good. Starting 4th year. Let’s see how it goes? Appreciate your videos greatly.

It’s been a few years since I raised my own queen. But the prices of queens is crazy. I may have to pull out the gear and start raising queens again.
Check with your local clubs. Become a member. A number of clubs up my way are producing queen cells for their members. One, you get to learn to install queen cells and work backwards to raising your own queens.

Hey Kamon! I'm driving through TN area this Sunday and it would be so cool to see your operation and meet you! 🤩 Been watching for 2 years now!

[NaturesImageFarmGregBurns]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Looks like your having a good time!

[beeornottobee]

Thank you for interesting video! Hi from Belarus bee's forests!

[ECP]

Hi Kamon, We are getting freezing temps the next two nights very untypical I wrapped my NUCS splits yesterday this is CRAZY

[lindaferguson]

Thank you so much for your informative videos. Would love to attend your yard on a good day of your working them. Such knowledge!

Hey Kaymon, recently I purchased one gallon internal frame feeders from Mann Lake . I like this design with the wooden caps with the plastic tube inserts for each hole . The problem is they’re way too tight to use even when one frame is removed from a Mann Lake ten frame hive body . Yet they fit perfectly in their five frame nuc hives after removing one frame . I would hate to think I would have to remove two frames from a ten frame deep hive body also made by Mann Lake. So I decided that these frame feeders will be used to feed my five frame nucleus colonies I’ll be raising next year . I’m already getting stoked for next year, LoL!
