We still have queens for sale ,call Heather our store manager for details and ordering thanks (706)508-8605
I talk about how queens hatch, , and return. - Zábava
Guys I'm a computer science major at 1 am during dead week. I'm three videos into bees. Surprising very relaxing 👌👌 so much to learn still
did u see the ballin' the bees do to a rejected queen?
@@stephentrueman4843 i did!!! They craaazy
@@stephentrueman4843 i tried to save a queen by putting a divider in the middle of a top bar hive and they balled her today it was sad
beekeeping is now on my retirement to do list im fascinated by it!
Asiyah Ali it also fascinates me and I would love to start a colony!
Why wait ? Its a fun hobby for sure
And u know without bees the world goes to shit
LOCAL MAN STUNG TO DEATH BY BEES DAYS AFTER RETIREMENT
Great decision! I retired early and started beekeeping. Going into my fourth year. It's a wonderful obsession.
Hey everybody that watches this video I just ordered today Queens from barnyard bees on September 5 at 10:45 they were sent to united parcel post and they arrived at my house on September 7 I thought for sure they would be dead but all three queens I was well prepared with plenty of other bees to keep the queen fed and plenty of queen candy placed in their cages and the cages well secured in their package just want to say thanks to David and Jimmy there queens and shipping are number one
What wow wow
He,s judt giving his bisnes away
Barnyard Be
why did you buy 3 queens if you thought they would be dead by the time they got to you

Probably was less an expectation and more of a fear or concern. Just a guess, but I find that is not unusual in humans.
Very well informative, I don’t plan on raising bees but I find this fascinating.
Right me too! I have no intention to raise bees I just like learning new stuff! :)
I am starting my second year into beekeeping. And your videos have been immensely valuable. Your insight into their behavior has helped me to understand some of the things I have observed particularly with one of my hives.
I watched another bee video that recorded the amazing sound of the new queen piping as she was ready to emerge from her cell. What amazing little insects! Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Very good video full of useful information, stay blessed David.
Just wanted to say thank you for the positive information about bees! Bees rock
Two things:
1) your voice and videos are so calming
2) I love bees and wish I could be a beekeeper, just really can't in the suburbs
Thank you so much for doing these very informative videos. This is the stuff that nobody tells u . Thanks So Much
Thank you so much for making these free videos God bless
Love these videos so much. You're so informative and interesting to listen to! Thank you🐝🙌
Great video big fan of walk away queens.
I really like your videos: they are very educational and I like that you trust the bees know better in choosing the right egg 💪🙏🐝🐝🐝
Just wanted to say I have witnessed the worker bees destroying all the rest of the capped queen cells also. Thank you for the video. Thought I was the only one to witness this until now.
I wish I could keep bees. But I’m deathly allergic (have my epi pen on me at all times) :( I love your videos
I'd love to see a video explaining how and when you chose to split - I have 1 hive and I plan on splitting in to two hives next spring, and I'm willing to order a queen but I bet the bee's could produce a new queen for the split on their own
Fascinating. Wish I had a place I could keep bees at.... Maybe in the future. 🤞
Vented box? Looks like the box was vented at the start.. love all your videos you make it look so easy! I have tried it myself after watching all your viedios all winter
I have two hive that I installed via nucs 1 week ago. One of the hives is very strong, lots of activity. On inspection I discovered several drone cells and a few queen cells. I did see the queen and the bread was well organized in different phases on at least 3 frames. I’m wondering if I can pull out the frames with the queen cells and start another hive? Is this too early or should I do this before some of my colony swarms?
We have a new hive that has taken up residence in an old dead Ash stump. It is a huge stump. My wife says no to more bees. She doesn't like getting buzzed. They are gentle and love our hummingbird feeders and are not a bit bothered by me changing the sugar water in them. I am going to build a hive and hope to catch the swarm the current hive will have next year.
Hey David. Second year Beek here. Your videos are so simply done, but you have the most informative videos on CZcams. I always look forward to you putting out a new one. Could you do a video on foundation vs foundationless? I'm wanting to sell bees more than make honey. Does that make a difference in using one or the other? I also appreciate you not asking for donations. Thanks again for your very informative videos. I'm going to have to get some queens from you next spring.
This is maybe youre best video. Bees are a resource not a curiosity. Thanks for the info.
In this NUC it looks like you left the new queen plus another queen and a queen cell why don’t you remove the cell and other queen?
Thanks for the videos and education I’m a new keeper 3 years in Pacific NW.
Thank you for the video. You always have interesting information. I know it's late in the season, but I spit a hive a week ago because I would have had 4 deep boxes going into winter. This will be my second winter as a beekeeper and I heard it isn't always good to have such a large colony to overwinter. I checked on the 7th day and found about 6 queen cells that the bees made. Some are much smaller than others. All but one were capped (even though it's only been 7 days). The cell still being drawn out is very long and beautiful and has a nice larva inside. Most of the cells were on the middle of the frame, but a couple were on the bottom like a swarm cell. I am just wanting your opinion on what I should do. Should I let them be and hope that at least one queen emerges and mates successfully? I hear it's super risky this time of year with predators. I also have quite a lot of drones because I kept having to try to keep the big hive from swarming and a lot were produced. Should I get rid of the smaller queen cells? Are they inferior to the longer ones? Should I be worried that the cell on the bottom of the frame might make the bees want to swarm, or do they only swarm when there is an older, established queen? Should I make a nuc with a frame containing a couple queen cells/pollen/honey/ready to emerge brood from my strong hive? I understand once the first queen emerges the other cells are torn down or killed by her? Should I try to ensure at least 2 queens emerge, then i will double my chances of a successfully mated queen returning? I'm sorry I have so many questions.
Fascinating!!! Very interesting!!!
Rather watch this its calming and knowledgeable infromation
Can’t get over how docile your bees are. They look like they are sleeping
Will a new queen fit through a metal queen excluder?
David,this is John from Goodlettsville Tennesse.I want to re queen some of my hives,what is the best thing to do for honey production,now or in spring?Also,how early in spring can I get queens from you?
I have the same question as someone else, I'm in Maryland and is it too late by July 1st to try a walk away split?
Great video. I love to see the queens cause I can't never find them, i just look for eggs. But then of course my queens always end up in the wrong box when I split.....
Dream Into Being Homestead why don't you mark them then?
Is it possible for you to take the queen cells, developed or undeveloped, off of the frames and let them develop into queens for you to use later? It looked to me like the cells were sealed so I don't see them needing food or anything.
Some of the combs that you showed in this video had big gaps at the bottom, and elastic bands,. as if they had been cut-and-fitted from stray nests. How long does it take the bees to fill all the holes in comb cut-and-fitted into a Langstroth frame?
Great videos! Is there one showing how you build the plywood nucs?
I think your videos are very informative.
Myself i have australian stingless bees.
Just made 7 hives langstroth design And i am planning to buy a hive or capture feral bees
love your knowledgable teaching skills,Please consider getting a better tripod,cause all the movement in your videos
makes my head reel causing me to try (visually ) to auto correct the picture and lose concetration on what you are saying. !!! You know Bees,I know video . just sayin' :)
From a non-beekeeper, to me it actually makes more sense that the workers (due to sheer numbers) would be the ones that would destroy the unhatched queen cells as they already have a queen. I would think that if there is any other queens that hatched, then the queens would fight to death. I'm also guessing that it probably doesn't happen every time but it makes sense to my brain that it would happen that way. Very interesting David!
they mate with one drone or more ? when with more then how if we know every time other bees remove male part when she came back from flight
I like the style and size of your hives. Do you have a video that talks more about them?
This is excellent! I love bees and honey!
How do you keep the hives you leave open without a top from being robbed and attacked? We made 2 walk away hives. They were both attacked the next day.
Thank u for your videos
Some beautiful bees
That's a nice little cat (at 18:20).
How long after you put your new bees in the hive will you get new queens?
Your bees seem so gentle, but would they survive a CO winter?
How late in the year can you make a split ?
How much times do you get sung
How do you get the queen to come back to the same nuc she flew out of?
What do you do when you find a new queen?
Sorry, super-newbie question here. Am I understanding, from this video, that bee's eggs hatch/gestate in 4-5 days? My hens' eggs take 28-32 so this shocks me. Also a queen egg takes 15 days to hatch/gestate, is that right?
When the queen hatched where does the drone come into play if you only have 2 hives. There wasnt any in that hive.
Best channel ever
David, great vid. Are you finding problems with dragonflies and queens not returning?
What's the oldest a egg can be before they can make a queen out of it?
I came on your info by accident and am fascinated! How do you not get non stop stung? .
How does the egg get into the queen cell or is it just a normal egg converted to become a queen
where can one get 5 frame nucs?
great video,very informative.
Knowledgeable! Very good
David, great video, so can capped Queen cells be introduced to a split by placing her between the top bars between two frames?
Yes ! 🐝
Do you have any plans for nuc boxes? I’m looking to build some.
That is a nice little cat.
Mrowrrprrrrrrrrrrrrprrrrrrrrrrrrrrprrrrrrrrrrrrrrprrrrrrrrrrrrr. Heaven is a lapful of sleepy purring kittens.
From the shadow you cast, it looks like you're wearing some protective gear. We're the bees pissed about something?
are those boxes made from osb? that's a nice afforable solution!
With that being a nuc box and with them making new queen cells. Ideally wouldn't you want to remove the queen cells and go ahead and move them to a 10 deep, to keep them from swarming.
You have so many bee hives. How much honey do you produce per month?
Very informative thank you..
How about keeping the camera distance constant. I can’t see a thing
Wow! I had no idea!!!! So there can only be one queen per colony?
do you not use smoke
What do you think about tearing down the capped queen cells on the fifth or sixth day? Do you find it unnecessary, counter productive or advisable? I guess you just make a split and let them do what they want.
How much are your mated queens ?
Informative Video.
Are there both male and female bees and then queen bees or are all female bees Queens?
David, I so enjoy your videos so I am going to help you with this. I was a senior research biologist for many years and have extensive background as an entomologist so you can trust this response. Drones are what we call haploid, that is they have just one set of chromosomes. You and I and female bees are formed from fertilized eggs and are called diploid. Diploid means that you have a full set of chromosomes from your mom and a full set from your dad. Drones have all they need to develop into a mature insect but they just have that one set of chromosomes. The queen holds the sperm and determines herself whether or not she releases sperm to fertilize an egg and therefore make a female. This is why laying workers only can produce drones. The workers determine by what they feed the larvae whether she becomes a queen or a worker. Hope that helps. Again, thanks for your videos. I have been a beekeeper for over forty years but I have still learned many things from your videos.
glad to help. The technical, or scientific, part of beekeeping, while interesting is actually not as relevant as all of your experience. Although, it is best when they are combined.
how much are you package bees
How long does a Queen Bee live?
David I wasn't aware that it could take as long as 4 days for the queen to mate. We saw our queen on saturday. The following saturday she was gone from the nuc. I waited 3 more days still no queen, so I ordered a mated , marked queen. The marked queen is still in the nuc. What happens if the original queen comes back to find a marked queen in her nuc? Is it just the strongest survives?
Death battle. Record it.
Im pretty sure they fight till the other dies
They'll probably ball the new queen
Thank you! ❤️👍🐝
In the fall or winter months, is it an option to create a room where when a queen hatches you can put her in the room with drones where she'll mate? Also, given the right temp, would bees work continually throughout the year?
Queens can get mated artificially, in a Lab setting, with Drone sperm. (Test tube wise) not Bees kept in a room over winter. 😱
Queen Breeding is only done in the Summer or early Autumn months. Otherwise, they wouldn't survive the cold ! 🐝
@@mmb_MeAndMyBees Thank you very much for answering. I appreciate the information. I'm going to check on CZcams for a video about artificial bee insemination.
What is a split called a walkaway split?
David, can you lock an unmated queen together with several drones in a hive so the might mate INSIDE the hive ?
And is that a good possibilty for keeping that queen IN THE HIVE ???
@@davidhaught84 why are there mating boxes for sale in the shops. ???
Good morning David, If one queen cell out of 4 hatches way before the other ones and they are not yet capped or just capped as the new queen emerges will the workers leave the cells until the new queen mates?
@@davidhaught84 will she kill the old queen? The seller said the queen currently in the NUC is mated but I have yet to see any eggs - I guess she got stage fright or feels there isn't a need for eggs yet? They are bringing in pollen and nectar, I am feeding them 1-1 as well. I was wondering if I should pull the old queen out and put her in a 2 frame nuc with a frame of capped brood and frame of honey? OR just leave her? I am checking the capped cell this coming saturday to see if it hatched.
Why does the virgin queen swarm to mate? Why not just mate in the hive?
Will the queen bee go far away from her hive and breed with other drones in another hive so no inbreeding.
That's what I was told.
Thanks Dave
She never breeds with her own Hive Drones. (Drones from other colonies do sneek in for free food !) Queens fly out to Mating Areas called Drone Congregations, often up to 5 Miles or so ! Hoping no bird, dragonfly of car windscreen gets her on her return to her own Hive ! 💪
The kitten was soooo cute. How is it doing?
What do you mean by a walk away hive.? Also if all the bees are from the same yard and you take some frames and put them in a nuc, won't those bees go back to their original hive?
Walk Away Splits... Are when you want to Raise your own Queens (Queen Cells.)
Take Frames of capped Brood, Honey and Pollen, lots of Nurse Bees, and some eggs (no older than 3 days.)
Put them in a five Frame Nuc Box (1/2 Hive size, to X10 one.) And Walk... Away !!!
Aka, the bees go 'Oh my Goodness, we have "NO Queen". So they make their own replacement Queen Cells +++. Us Humans (Beekeepers) must leave them to it.... Walk Away, and not interfere until 6 - 8 weeks later. When hopefully a Queen gets born, matures up, goes on a Mating flight, returns, becomes "Queen and starts laying" her own eggs (larvae.) 💪
My one more question: If bee keeper din't notice a new hatched queen and there is already queen in the hive, will the new hatched queen will return to same hive after mating in the air and fight with old queen? or leave to somewhere else?
wow
I wish there was a pointer you could use when you are pointing out various things. I usually have a hard time seeing exactly what you are talking about. Just wishing.
Thanks
When do introduce bee bread and pollen
The dislikes are the Bees
Do the bee's move the egg to the cell
Ok a queen of the hive lays the eggs, at the same time she lays queen eggs??
Can you do a video on the wire or string you use on your frames, how do you put is on and stuff
theres a bunch of videos already on how to wire a frame. Just a quick search will show more than you want to watch.
The bees have a very, very, small micro chip for a brain that holds a lot of Data.
Hello I am new to watching this channel I have a question only the queen can lay eggs or can the worker bees lay eggs also🥚🥚🥚
Queens can choose to lay eggs to become any Bee. (Worker, Drone, possible future replacement Queens. The Workers feed an egg Royal Jelly = only way to become a "Queen Cell." Aka a new Queen 👑.)
Workers can only lay Drones, as they are not mated like the Queen is ! (She can turn on and off sexual genetics,) to determine if more girls, or boys are needed ! 😉
Workers only lay Drones, in a last ditch attempt, to get boys born, flly out, get mated to a Queen, somewhere, that might Swarm (be another Bee Colony !) If caught by a Beekeeper... 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
KITTY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
buy a mated queen?
