Where is the queen? Listen closely and you will find her

Store# [phone]
Have you ever wondered where the queen is in a pack hive? here is a good trick to narrow down the search, all you have to do is move some frames one by one looking at them as you move them to another box, and start listening to the buzzing and see which box is making the most noise, the box which is making the most noise will be absent of the queen. And the calm quiet Hive of honey bees will have the queen. This is a great beekeeping tip from Barnyard bees. Beekeepers try this tip and you will not regret it it works every time.

Wow... My experience is if you ask 10 Beekeeper’s a question you’ll get 20 different answers. I feel like every time I’m on YouTube trying to figure something out... it’s one of your videos that truly helps me. Thank you so much for doing this! I’m truly grateful.

Fascinating. I'm six weeks into keeping and was beginning to wonder if I had a queen. But when I was scooping up a beard that stayed on ab old box and she came running up my arm. Put her on the porch and she ran inside. When I open the hive here in a week or so, I'll be listening.

[colleenmurphy]

That is great. I have learned so much from you and I don't even have bees. Just love nature. You should write a book.

That's a brilliant tip. I'm about to move a small colony with a new queen back into a nuc for the winter, but I'm a new beekeeper and I can't spot the queen. You have given me a way of knowing where she is without actually seeing her. Thank you so much. I feel better about moving the colony now

THANK YOU for verifying my observations - I keep telling people "It's all about the bees' - 'they will tell you what is going on in your hive' - you don't have tear your hive apart every time you check on 'cause you can't see her don't mean she ain't there !

Excellent tip! I have worked with bees for some 5 yrs now and first time that was pointed out to me. You sir have very calm bees also!

Wow they fricken amaze me. How sophisticated and complicated their lives are. How the hell would they all know their queen is gone, amazing. Such awesome things.

Thank you from the UK. I saw my marked queen when she arrived a year ago. She swarmed two months later and I never saw her daughter. I bought a set of marker pens this year and had my yellow marker all ready and... they just sent off a huge swarm. Yellow retired ... red marker pen will be unwrapped. Smiles. Thank you for your excellent videos.

Thanks for this video. Spent all winter watching your channel. I got my first nuc and wasn't able to find the queen. The bees in the new hive started their chain saws while I was looking for her so I figured she was still in the box. After moving another frame from the nuc to the hive box (that I looked but still didn't see her), they all quieted down so I was pretty confident she was in the hive even without having spot her.

I just got a few hives this spring, and one swarmed out within the first week (I placed new deeps on top upon installation). First inspection a week later, I had a feeling I was queenless and those bees acted the same way! Loud, upset and flighty!

[honeybeeasian]

Excellent example of how a hive reacts to being queenless. Also shows how quickly they realize it. Thank you so much for this video.

[TarotandWitchery]

The contrast was perfect! I could immediately tell the difference.

[jeremymoore]

Probably the best video showing the sound a queenless hive makes. Well done sir!

I've been going through your videos for the past couple weeks after discovering your channel, and I can honesty say your are THE BEST bee teacher on YouTube right now. Everything (I thought) I knew is starting to make so much sense now. Like a puzzle; seems all you get out there are all the little pieces of information, and its up to us newbies to figure out how to put it all together. What I keep learning from your videos over and over again is that it's all about knowing the bees; how they behave, why they do what they do, etc. That was the part that was missing for me and you are doing a great job in your videos of explaining why the bees are doing what they are doing. It helps me so much to understand the bigger picture, not just the tidbit. Thanks and keep up your great contributions to the art.

THIS WAS EDUCATIONAL ON SO MANY LEVELS!!! I AM A GRANDMOTHER OF 10 GRANDBABIES!!!! 2 OF THEM ARE DOING REPORTS ON BEE'S OR WASPS!!! I FOUND BARNYARD BEE'S ON YOU TUBE & NOW UMM BATTING 1, 000 WITH THEM FOR SHARING YOUR YOU TUBE VIDEO!!!! I HAVE S

[mamahound]

As new beekeepers, this informational video is really helpful and makes sense. Thanks for sharing and showing us newbees how it's done.

[jjjackson]

It amazes me how confidently you reach in to.pull a frame. No gloves, etc. Now I can be brave around carpenter bees...

[yerouttaheah]

Tried this yesterday. I only had a 4 frame nuc available, but I was surprised at how fast the reaction took place, and LOUD! Next week I will use a 10 frame box and move frames until something changes.
By taking the top box off, I should be able to tell which box she's in too.
Very useful.

[kidneypop]

Very helpful information. Transferred a Nuc last week, didn’t see the queen but they seem happy. Lots of new bees trying to figure out their location which is a good sign. Going to listen to hive from now on. Thanks

[bassnazi]

Amazing how that traditional swarming sound came through right after you took the queen.
