Placing brood comb in a queenless hive

At a recent field day with my local beekeeping group a hive was found to be queenless. It was decided to take a frame of young brood from another hive and put it in the queenless hive and hopefully they will make a new queen.

We didnt take a queen outof the other hive just a frame of eggs. You are right though, I am sure they have a lot to say about it and none of it nice. Hopefully the other hive can use one of those eggs to make a new queen and continue as a healthy hive.

It was only done a few days ago so time will tell. I will try to find out and let you know when I am able.

Thanks, the beekeeping is a fun new skill to learn.
I wasnt able to get a swarm for the top bar hive that I made. It was a bit late in the swarm season even though there was a chance, but not this time.
I will have a langstroth hive complete with bees soon from a freind that I helped out with some hives she needed to move and the plan is to split the hive in the spring and populate the other that way. I still like the idea of catching a swarm though.

Those bees were saying stop shaking us and moving our frame. Leave us alone! Bee Keeper telling them be quite I'm looking for a an extra queen. I don't think they appreciated losing a queen ;-)

I should have a langstroth hive in a few weeks. I still have my top bar hive that I built and I will hopefully have bees in that in September or October when it is swarm season here again.
I didnt get any stings that day but there was another day recently when I got 5 in the one day.
I am sure there will be many more stings coming my way.

Thanks very much. Even though it was no good for the owner of the hive to it was queenless it make for a more interest field day than before when everything has been as it should be.
Hopefully we dont get too many more like that.

Thanks I am sure they will do what they do best. Hopefully there are queencells in the hive right now :)

[@groovesme]

Best of luck on that.

Great vid! Love the bees! How is your new hive doing, did you get bees to move in yet?

[@Gardeninggirl1107]

So will you get your own hive next year? Also, how many stings did you get when she switched out the frame? lol

[@freakygeaktwo]

Do you know if it worked?

[@Planting81]

Wow that was very interesting : )

[@curtisrosselot6973]

Well you have enough opinionated people standing around!

[@honeybacres]

It is all freindly stuff Curtis and many of the people there are learning so a lot of what you may think is opinion is probably explanation.

The Productive Garden Do you rear you own queens? If so I would put the drone brood in a nuc with a frame of uncapped brood and works and the same in that hive. This will give good insurance your new queens will have a good mating flight.

[@curtisrosselot6973]

The Productive Garden Great video though!

That is a pretty good idea. I will definitely keep that in mind if I do my own queens sometime. Thanks for the tip.
