    What a brave young lady. LOL I don't mind the jacket since I don't have to wear it too long any day since I don't have a gazillion hives. Thanks for the video Natalee.

    Great job Natalie. Seen that cell frame and bars on Google. Glad to see you using them. So important to have lots of royal jelly in those cups. Especially right before they are ready to hatch. Accees to that protein until she chews her way out is a must as well as a good young 4 th day new larvae from egg during your grafting helps for a good queen. Sometimes a queen larvae or young pupae may drop and the nurse bees will elongate the cell. So important when handling the frame, not shaking it, or brushing to hard at the first when inspecting or transferring from your starter to your finisher. And a emergency cell hatched out virgin in your box or a queen bank, which I have seen in the later is disastrous. Made a friend of mine really mad to see his 50 fifty bought queens all dead in their cages. Thanks and this video had the CC and transcript. Appreciate it but never saw one on your wax dipping vid. Checked right after you replied. That's okay. Good luck with your cells as you put them into nucs and the matings after hatching. Hope you got a lot of strong drones and good weather when she flys. Keep up the good work! :) 🐝

    Hello Hello. I have been in the bee yards every day for a while now but last Monday it was a beautiful day an hot so I thought I will have it made . Wow how I was so wrong my girls really ate my lunch. When I came in for the day I was watching the news an there was a front coming in so that was the reason they were in such a pissed mood . I should’ve already been doing grafting but I have been so behind but about to see the day light . I have been adding the second an third supers . Thanks

      well hey everyone starts somewhere! it also might not always be your grafting there could be something wrong with your cell builder or maybe you chilled the larvae (i did that last week ha) So definitely give it another try

    Do y'all just make queens strictly for yourself or sell some of them? Just watched Cory in a video in Manitoba and he spoke very highly of you. How's the nectar flow going up there? Everything is just a bit early here, even the tulip poplar is bloomed already.

      hey! yeah Cory is a really nice guy. most of these queens will go to splits we make, but we do sell a few. at first everything was crazy early now it seems like everything is about on schedule we will get our black locus here soon in may hopefully!
