Great 10min video! i love i don't have to wait or skip to the good stuff. The whole time your talking, its information. As a newer beekeeper i really find this channel educating!

Just raised my first 3 queens. All came back matted and laying. All are a lot bigger then bought queens.

Agree with you on the late summer conditions, here in Nashville the rain has been much better than the past few summers and has taken a little of the pressure off the dearth. I'm a big fan of the JZBZ battery box for cages and cell transport...thanks.

@kamonreynolds 3 года назад

Hey Baddest and Paula I am more than capable of driving myself nuts without anybody's help! I am too ambitious sometimes and I am trying to do better about not going overboard. This time last year I had constant twitching in both eyes and digestive problems that were purely stress related. Lasted for months. I had to back off this year a bit. For my sake and the families sake. However, I am working towards making this channel and my experiments more of a priority next year than just being a beekeeper. I am going to drop to 250 colonies and do less just at a higher level. (that's the theory anyways) I do appreciate you both and hope your family and your bees are well. -Kamon

I've banked Queens in the top honey super over a Queen excluder in a strong colony several times for a short period of time (few days) with good results.

@MrSnapper1d 3 года назад

I never thought of doing it that way even though i used to get queens shipped to me in boxes like that.Now they are just shipping in single cages.I raise most all my queens now days and I think I will go to that for transporting between yards.

@lindaferguson593 3 года назад

I viewed a video (foreign) that showed using stinging nettle branches 8-10" (2-3) per hive. Placed on top of frames. Kept there for 3-4 days. Stinging nettle has a natural formic acid within itself that organically treats varoa.

I live in Jackson kentucky, I had a bear came at 10:05 the other night and torn into one of my beehives. We finally got him run off I though I would never see a bear here.

@lagrangebees 3 года назад

I really wanted to try raising queens, even it it was just 1 or 2. Just to practice doing it, but a monkey wrench said no... I'm definitely raising some next summer (should any of my colonies survive heh). Your advice is incredibly invaluable, TY for the videos :)

@mikeries8549 3 года назад

Don't give up. It's easier than you think.

@lagrangebees 3 года назад

@@mikeries8549 the problem isn't the difficulty, its the timing :) there isn't time to make a split viable enough to survive winter with the amount of summer left. Winters in Quebec are long and cold.. it can reach -40F.

Bananas... a No, No. They 'seem to smell' similar to Bee Alarm Phremone, so don't have Bananas, of fragrance near a Hive. Just saying 🙄

@VizslaB Год назад

Kamon thanks for the video! Im in my second season grafting in Australia and I may need to bank some Queens (hopefully due to being so good at grafting lol). Off topic question - I'm assuming that's sugar syrup behind you? How does it not ferment being in a big tank for a long time?

@kamonreynolds Год назад

Thanks VizslaB! That syrup in the back is sucrose sugar (white refined) that is inverted and condensed to the thickness of honey. This makes it stable for quite some time. I try to use it up in a years time though as fresher is best for the bees. In order to use it I dilute it with water to make 1:1 or 2:1 Best of luck on your queens!!

@parttimefarmer1086 3 года назад

So you didn't get stung at all in this video? Do you have Italian bees? I hear they are the least agressive.

@kamonreynolds 3 года назад

I have carnies and Italians. Queens that produce mean bees on a consistent basis get dethroned and replaced

I thought this time of year is not optimal to do splits. What are the signs that hives need to be split in August? Thanks.

@kamonreynolds 3 года назад

It might not be where you live. I am making alot and will keep doing it for a month BUT it takes ripped colonies and attention to detail. We wont have really cold weather till November

@FoodwaysDistribution 3 года назад

Do you put any food in that box, or just the queens and the bees

@kamonreynolds 3 года назад

I mention towards the end of placing some queen candy in there. They also should be given a few drops of water a day thru the top or have a small slightly damp sponge in there

@mikeries8549 3 года назад

I got hit on my knee yesterday. Felt good. Apitherapy is real. Once I get a little older I'll go glove less to get stung on purpose. Three decades of being a carpenter and this asshole named arty. Bees are good for me.

Hey Kamon, how long can queens bee caged inside a hive before hurting them?

@ECP 3 года назад

Love your channel... new beekeeper myself making some videos too.... My question is how late into the season do you keep making splits ?

@kamonreynolds 3 года назад

First of Sept

@FloryJohann 3 года назад

I made a split here in N.C last week and I am planning to make one more this week and it is kinda late even for my area, it all depends where you are and your season. This time of the year the colonies are starting to get rid of drones and you need a lot of drones for a queen to get mated properly, the more drones are around the better queen you will make. But also you have to be able for the colony to build up numbers so they have enough bees to keep the colony warm in winter.

@mmb_MeAndMyBees 2 года назад

While you still have Drones (Boy Bees) to get that Queen Mated... And to back Date approx x5 Weeks to get a good laying pattern, to raise all important Winter Bees. Population build up takes about two sequences of laying. Nurse / Worker Bees hatch after "21Days", so you thinking minimum of x42 Days before so. x50 days to be safe ! 🤞 So go by local weather conditions : Autumn Flow, first Frosts, etc... 😏

Hello from Greece Tell me please, are these virgin queens?? if i have 5 or 6 virgin queens can left them in a 6 frame orphan colony for 10days Thanks

@badassbees3680 3 года назад

Get pheremones on day 5 ,best to introduce before then,if you wait past day 7 they don't ever take mating flight slot of time,u need bees feeding queens,u wanna bank to buy u a day or two,NOT a week or more...longer banked equals more probs even with mated queens

@kamonreynolds 3 года назад

Hello Dim Mar. These are mated queens. I am not very experienced when it comes to virgin banking. I really don't like fooling with virgins if I can help it as they are much more fragile than a mated queen.

Could you store the queen box in a queenright hive?

@mmb_MeAndMyBees 2 года назад

Yes, but above a Super and an extra Queen Excluder. Brood QE Super QE Banked Queens spacer Box with Feeder Crown Board Roof. Tip : You want the Banked Queens to be near enough for Nurse Bees to feed them but furthest away from the Resident Queen, so all those Cages don't over flood the lower Hive with Pheremones making Old Queen decide to Swarm ! 🤞
