- There are many reasons why you might need to requeen your hive. Requeening is the process of introducing a new queen to a queenless hive. Placing the new queen bee safely within her new home is essential. 🐝

Thank you for this video
Thanks for the video. Im expecting my new queen from you tomorrow. Does she come with a paint mark?
Can you put a queen in a hive with no bees and that will attract bees?
No
Unfortunately, that will not work to attract bees. You can try a swarm lure to attract a swarm.
How long are u supposed to "check for exceptance"? 5 min. or so?
The time it takes will depend on the inspection process. If you see evidence of eggs on the first frame, it will be much faster than if you have to pull a few frames.
Do we need to remove the attendant bees first?
Attendant bees should be left in with the queen when installing in the hive.
Where did u get the gloves? Thx
These gloves are the vented goatskin gloves sold by Mann Lake.
