Hello Bob. The bees are a couple of weeks behind here in Central Virginia There's no natural pollen available yet. This is a good video for this time of year. A lot of your subscribers probably would like to see a video of how you introduce a queen using the push in cage method and possibly how you make the push in cage. I've never seen anyone use a cage with the little door, but it does seem like a great way to place the queen in the cage.

@mikerevendale4810 3 года назад

Great content! And this is confirmation to what I've witnessed after +30 years of beekeeping. I've found that when introducing purchased queens to a colony that a push cage works best; and I'm not in a hurry to release her. I try to place her over an area with a few open cells and some capped worker brood. I check her in 5 to 7 days, and may release her at this time. And when I raise my own queens I leave them alone for several weeks in their mating nucs. Trying to rush a new queen often leads to her rejection. But it's amazing how a new queen settles down to business in just a few weeks time, and the whole colony's temperament changes too.

This is the first time I've heard that the queen can be damaged in the cage if the bees don't have access to her. Maybe we are talking about different cells? Here in Europe we use flat cells with small vents on one side and the sides. Аccording to the videos I've seen in Ukraine they are experimenting with a queen bank that contains three queens on each side of the frame (a total of 6) in the very center of the qweenless hive and so far they manage to overwinter without a problem and problems with the queens.

The queens are timed so precisely that as soon as they lay an egg they’re pulled and caged. Queens need to mature.

@user-ub3fc4nr9e 3 года назад

Bees, depending on the breed, feel orphanhood after 4 - 6 hours. A bee colony, in which the queen bee is changed, should not remain without her for a long time, since in the first two days after the selection of the queen bee, bees are likely to accept fetal queens.

@gwtill 3 года назад

Great information! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. In the part about swapping queens between hives do you know if they had to allow time for the colonies to know they were queenless, or did they just pull one out and insert another queen immediately?

I use the push in cage method for requeening like you demonstrated and it works great. When I sell queens sometimes my customers ask how soon they should introduce the queen in the jzbz cage after pinching her? Would you recommend adding the caged queen immediately after pinching? Or waiting a certain period of time before adding the caged queen?

@bobbinnie9872 Год назад

If possible we like to wait six hours or so. Not always possible though. We often do it immediately with success but it's better to let them understand that they are queenless first. Less antagonism that way.

Hello Bob. I have a question that needs your expertise. My hive is close to complete honey-bound, so I have added new frames to give them room. I also have a newly mated queen. She is going on 8 days without laying, yet I can tell she is close because her abdomen has greatly enlarged, as well as she is now looking into cells. My question is, once the queen does start laying, will the workers move the nectar/honey up to clear room for her to lay????? Thank you so much Bob for all your help. I learn a lot from you.

Hi Neil. I'm not sure how long it takes for bees to kill a cell or virgin. I'm sure it's variable. I have transported newly mated queens successfully I've also moved nucs with queen cells in them but it was always cells that they produced.

@user-ub3fc4nr9e 3 года назад

Under favorable conditions. The earlier the queen bee is fertilized, the better it will be. If the queen bee does not fertilize within 30 days, she loses the ability to fertilize and will lay only unfertilized eggs.
