How To Mark Queens, Cage Attendants, Manage Mating Nucs

In this video I demonstrate marking queens with a paint pen, getting them into a cage and adding attendant workers to the cage. These cages are California mini cages and are not my favourite to use. I actually prefer to use the JzBz plastic cages but I don't have any right now. I also prefer the cera cell "clam shell" style cage, but I also don't have any of those at the moment.
I also briefly discuss some of the management that goes into these small mating nucs and how they aren't the right solution for all (or even most) beekeepers. But If you were curious about this style, then I hope you learned something.

Great to have you posting again. Thanks. Hope all is well.

Gosh, I really miss your videos! I hope to see you back sometime. I’m in Wisconsin, so your videos are very helpful for us northern beekeepers. I hope all is well with you. 😊🐝

@dcsblessedbees 2 года назад

Just want to say that I really enjoyed your videos, a few years old now, but a lot of great information for a first year beekeeper. Ty :) Blessed Days...

Sir missed you and hope to hear from you soon really enjoy your videos.

@arthurdent2094 5 лет назад

Really pleased so see you posting again. I am a novice beekeeper in the UK and many of the RU-vid channels seem to to be US focused and somehow different to what we do here in the UK. Your videos, on the other hand, are all informative, illustrative and above all interesting. I have watched every one of them and was worried that you may have given up posting. Keep it up! Looking forward to seeing many more!

Devan. Finally you are back. Thank you for posting again. I have learned a great deal from your clips. Cheers

@BKBees 5 лет назад

Good video. It's tough, getting the correct camera orientation to show caging queens, and you did a great job at that.

@zigzagstreaks793 5 лет назад

Another excellent video and a welcome surprise this AM. I think it's safe to say that you have been missed, Devan.

@scooterpush 5 лет назад

You did great with your breakdown of the process==step by step, straightforward and a good speaking voice. I don't care much for hotshots or clowns. Thank you for making this video. New sub here.

Great to see you back. Hope all's well with you.

@josephvogel7234 3 года назад

I have been pretty successful handling my queens when it is necessary . I have used the drones to become confident. Grabbing attendants will be a lot easier to master now that I have seen your helpful trick. It is so good to see you back.

@ThoughtfulAl 4 года назад

Your videos are so watchable. Very clear guidance well spoken too. Thanks

@PhillipHall01 5 лет назад

Almost every comment that I read stated in one way or another that we are glad you are back and posting again.. I will also say, Glad you are back at it , and a great video to boot!! Thanks , Phillip Hall

@barbaram5787 5 лет назад

So glad you've done another video. You are the one that got me interested in managing hives as Single Brood Chamber. I couldn't find a lot of info on it but as an older female I couldn't lift the deeps by myself so this year I just went for it. I have 3 Single Brood hives. Much easier for me to handle. I'm managing and learning a lot but can't say if I've done it right.

@brianday8217 5 лет назад

Thrilled to see a new video from you! 🙂 I find your videos an incredible wealth of easily explained knowledge for us amateur beekeepers. Please keep them coming. 🍻

@jameskownacki8639 5 лет назад

@wendybachman6224 5 лет назад

Thank you for this, it's really nice seeing someone confident & competent up close handling their queens...I get really scared I'm going to hurt mine...

Thanks Devan, it is great to see your videos again, I am doing my Happy Dance! Several good nuggets of information there, it is appreciated.

@linuxman51 5 лет назад

Excellent detailed demonstration on getting attendants in the cage, I'd always wondered about that. Thanks!

@PhillipHall01 5 лет назад

Devan, I now am confidently marking my queens with no problem or lack of confidence doing so. Until this video, It was a pain for me marking queens. I WAS using a marking cage but not anymore! Thanks so much! I hope you are having a good year with your bees as well as life in general. Phillip Hall

@donovancoughlin 5 лет назад

WOW!! That was an excellent video. You have a great way of explaining straight forward well practiced ways of getting it done. Its great to see you posting again and hope you will do more. Thank you for taking the time to do this I (and I believe so many more) really appreciate it.

Second year bee keeper here.... Good news, I now know everything about honeybees. Bad news..... The rest of my bee keeping life I'll be humbled because I didn't know shiznit.

@terrim.602 4 года назад

Lol! Bees have a way of making us humble just by being natural bees.

@wayneparker9782 5 лет назад

It is great to hear from you again....i hope we can look forward to more information. There is so much more to learn. You articulate the information well with continuity...so we have a beginning... but...im feeling...its a long way to the end...please continue helping...thank you from florida...

@chriscarey6614 4 года назад

Fantastic. Very clear explanation.little suggestion try dummy board in your mating nuke to stop bees building brace comb thank great video chris uk

@mikeries8549 5 лет назад

If you can ... get the pastel colors. They stand out way better. Use orange for the yellow years and white is the easiest to spot so just use white. Posca sells big packs of markers for way cheaper than getting one at a time.

@cricketscorner6514 5 лет назад

@coreymatheson4132 5 лет назад

Great to see you again Devan! Excellent video and the timing was perfect. I purchase a couple double mating nucs from Mann Lake and eager to give them a try. I'm a third-year beekeeper with 28 hives and want to promote desirable traits in my queens beyond walkaway splits. I haven't seen anyone else do a video on this topic. Thanks again!!

@222boneal 5 лет назад

@drewt3210 5 лет назад

Great comprehensive video! FYI, I've used Sharpie oil based paint pens marking queens for nine years without issue. I typically keep queens up to 4-5 years as long as they remain productive. Best, @HoneyOnWales
