- Grafting Larvae at my home apiary in France, where i do all my queen rearing. Ive tried to just briefly show you how i graft, but its tricky and the cameras never go that macro until things get very tecky!
I hope it explains what i do and why i do it and helps you select the right size larvae. hopefully a little more info than the cell builder explained.
Great video! You pointed out so many things I forgot to mention. Your are very right about grafting taking practice. You could watch hours of grafting videos but it takes practice to get good and lots of it. I love seeing the different ways everyone raises queens. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate you mentioning my queen rearing series, thanks!
Jason Chrisman your very welcome Jason. I did the cell builder explainer as a kind or overview of the process. You’ve broken it down in to segments! I am glad you’ve done that and done it well! I think it’s important that people see how the process is so flexible but still uses the basic principles.
At the end of the day we’re trying to get people to have a go. How we do that is a combined effort! Your videos are great because you’ve got passion. That comes across! Your also able to explain things clearly which I know a lot of people really appreciate. 😎💥🐝🐝🐝🐝
Hi Richard, if you ever come to Bosnia i'll buy you a beer for your good videos.
Best view of the larva to graft from. THANK YOU!
THANKS FROM AUSTRALIA your video was great for me as a starter of queen rearing thanks again Bruce
I love this guys attitude.
Awesome, that really helps me to understand the process. Thank you
Amazingly well done video. Thank you again!
Richard
Keep these practical minded no bullshit videos coming 👍🏻
Excellent video. You have given the best demonstration of larva selection that I have seen. Most videos don’t have the clarity of video yours do. Great job, thank you. My goal is that this is the year when I stop buying bees. Stu
I have subscribed and hit the bell. Thanks for the video. Two Hundred Euro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!wow!!! I buy 20 at a time for $40 Australian at a time.
Great video Richard 👍 very informative, think the first graft I did the larvae were a couple of days old alright. Will keep practicing, Thanks for sharing
Lol that was a funny story ! I've learned once I thought I really getting to know bees,that at the end of the day they always have nice little unpleasant surprises,I be glad when they come around to my way of thinking 😂🐝🐝🐝🐝
Going to try grafting this year. Watched JC and now yours. Thanks for the info. I have a magnifying headset I’m going to use.
Thanks, Richard! Enjoyed alot!
Thank you Richard👍✌
Mr. Richard Noel, I have watcheed Jason Chrisman's videos on queen rearing and felt I want to do it in the future. Now I come across yours and I want to start it next spring. I believe i will start getting the materials together and keep watching this kind of video, then start practicing in April 2019 to see if I can suceed in raising my own queens. Thank you Sir. Rich in Pa.
A new technique for me using saliva to bend the tip. Spring 2020 will be when I start Queen rearing. This will be my 3rd year. Hope to become a true beekeeper and not a bee buyer. Thank you Richard
Well Richard
At last I can see my long mistakes thank you for your wisdom 😀
Colin Edwards we all still make plenty of mistakes Colin, just hopefully less often!!🙄👍👌🏻
Excellent, excellent! Gracias!
Thank you bro for sharing good knowledge
Thank you for sharing
This is awesome I have started to graft my first round 8 out of twenty accepted thanks to you I will be grafting again tomorrow how many grafting frames are you running before you re assemble ??
Thank you👍
Very informative the important thing as you advise is practise I now need to just have a go
Well tried my hand at grafting, intended to graft 20 cells certainly not as easy as you made it look managed to graft 12 and have 5 which have taken - onwards and upwards
Mark Rendall well done for having a go! Consider some magnifier glasses if necessary. They can help!
Good work 👍
Your the Van Gogh of Chinese Grafting Tool.
In that .... I'm sure plenty of Artists Suck and Saliva their Paint Brushes. I certainly did in painting Miniatures !!! (One of mine is of a Cat, asleep on a Wooden Chair.... It's about 1/4" Wide total ! (Aka in an Antique Pendent.)
Now I can hardly see Eggs, without using 4.0 Ready Readers.... 😱
They should give old eyes to Teens (asleep all the time,) and us Oldies... Youthful 20/20 Vision. 🤭
Have a packet of Grafting Tools, now need to suck and spit on them.... 👍
Happy Beekeeping 2021.

Очень хорошо рассказали и показали! Лайк!
Спасибо. желаю вам хорошего сезона!
Great video
Great Video
great video! if you were to buy a book on what you explained what would it be? thanks
OMG Richard. I would have been devasted seeing her fly off in a swarm. do u have contact details for where you got your breeder queen from please
UK Here We Grow
Certainly , here it is buckfast.dk/index.php/en/home
Thanks pal :)
hello Richard thanks for your videos i learn from it a lot of usefull informations please can you tell me which beebreed do you have
Think it is likely to be a Buckfast
Great information and video Richard! I noticed you don´t wax the plastic cells, why is that? Thank you for posting this :)
Very nice
I'm a newbee in the states, your video great and very informative, a few questions, : How early in the spring may you start the grafting process? Is the hardware like the Cell Cups, Cup Sockets and cup holders reusable? When a frame of brood is removed for grafting, how long can you keep it out of the brood box before damaging the uncapped and/or capped brood? i've subscribed to your channel, will be a regular viewer/student.
Monty McGuFFin hi, you should only be grafting when the bees start making their own swarm cells. Remember your trying to work with the bees, you set it up right, they do the rest!
If you imagine that the bees only make queen cells when everything is right, so do the same! Make everything right for the bees! Every area will have roughly the same time each year and that is when and only when you should consider grafting! For us it’s
Providing the frame is kept out of drafts and cold winds an journys acceptable. Larvae can be a little cool ad it won’t affect them. Just do what you cannot keep it on the warm side!
Спасибо!
Дуже цікаво, попробуй весною так ставити рамки з пергою по боках прививочний рамки і бджіл дуже багато у Вас для виховання личинок . Ваш канал дуже цікавий. Скажу Сєнцову хай зробить переклад
Дякую за добрі слова. чудового сезону.
Do you sell queens? How do you find a market for them? Seems to be more money in the queens than the honey. You've really peeked my curiosity.
Love you videos! Where did you get your jacket? I love how it is comfortable enough to leave on while you graft, the second I get away from hives I take off veil as it is so uncomfortable. So cool how the bees run to the frame!! Thank you.
Carole Haney hi, it’s from a company called bbwear! Based in Cornwall, United Kingdom. I just love the round hats, I used to get a lot of stings at the base of the neck with the fencing type hats. Not anymore! Nice bees are always à better option though!!
Thank you so much, I will have a look. Now I just need you to send me some of your experience.. LOL I know, practice practice practice...
goodjob
Hello Richard, hope you have time to answer a ? I put grafts for 3rd time this season had great success first 2 times but this time they accepted half the grafts when I checked after 48hours went back on day 6 and they were gone. I then shook every bee off all frames to see if a rogue queen got in didn’t see any eggs from a queen but did find 4 cells that looked like swarm cells. So what do you think? Was it because they had their own cells made and ignored mine? Just found it a bit interesting, what do you think? Take care, I know you must be busy like myself. I work 40+ hours of full time job and have my sideline of bees, but would like to know your opinion. Thank you.
Hi Scott, well just remember bees do strange things sometimes. It may well have been a tiny virgin that hatch somewhere but then swarmed off! If you
Miss queen cells anything can happen! The main thing is you checked and have an idea of what might have happened! So now you will checking earlier right?🧐😉🐝
@@richardnoel3141 Thank you Richard for all you do. Thank you 🙏
Hi Richard, I been watching your videos on grafting for some time now and tried grafting about two weeks ago for the first time and it seemed to go well but some how I ended up with a Queen in my cell builder so the bees ended up clearing all the larvae out of the queen cups.
All I can figure out is a mated queen found her way into the cell builder.
There was absolutely no open brood in the cell builder and when I went in to retrieve the cells to place into mating nucs is when I found open larvae.
So I shook the frames and Isolated the bees into a four frame nuc box to locate the queen a few days later.
I did find the queen and she was laying like crazy and much smaller than I was expecting and almost completely black.
I tried again to graft and created a new cell builder and failed to harvest the larvae so gave up and figured I would try the Nicot system. Well that turned out to be a complete failure as the queen laid eggs in some cups and then the bees removed them.
In between grafting attempts I re watched your grafting video and other grafting videos and so I tried again this evening and it was a great success getting the larvae out without messing them up.
One thing that really helped is the video I watched that was put out by the University of Guelph Honey Bee Research Centre.
He was moving much faster with the grafting tool down into the cells and so I tried that this evening and WOW what a difference that made I was able to get the larvae on the reed with ease.
What I figure I did the second time try to graft was I moved to slow trying to be careful not to roll or damage the larvae in any way I just kept pushing them to the side of the cell.
This evening they just slid right on the reed when I pushed the reed in the cell quicker and the shaping of the reed you explained really helped also.
So now I guess I wait to see how many are accepted to know if I really succeeded at grafting or not.
Looking at the images in your video it looks like I did get the right age larvae.
Crazy thing is my eye sight is not the best even with my glasses on but this evening I tried grafting outside in a half enclosed screen shelter I bought just for this purpose and used only my headlamp for extra light and no other overhead light other than the daylight coming in the shelter. I was able to see the larvae so easy.
I tried the last couple time in my kitchen under the bright lights and my headlamp and just couldn't see the larvae that well even with a magnifying glass.
But in the shade of the shelter with my headlamp they just jumped right out at me.
I am going to also finish the cells in the cell builder and the best day for me to remove the cells will be eight days from now. Will it be okay to remove them eight days from grafting and place them in mating nucs?
Thanks for are your advise you give in the video.

Hi Richard, If you could please have time to share... if you are to maximize, without the slightest compromise on quality, how many runs/days X how many cells per run can you do with a super-starter like that? Thank you for your time.
Richard, that is an awesome cell-builder colony. Do you have a Patreon page, I would really contribute for the excellent content you are creating. I could help you with that if needed.
With the queen cells what do you do to make the queen bee from a virgin bee to a laying queen bee owing to the fact you have a large amount of queen bees.
its a process that makes the bees change the feed they give to the bee and it can only be done with a very young larvae. once they have no larvae older than three days the bees cannot successfully make annew queen. you need to read up on basic queen rraring and learn the biology. I am teachng the actual peocesses. you would benefit from learning the background knowledge that will help you understand the process.
Hi Richard, how is your Experience with Kelds Queens in Comparison with other Breeders you know? Never bought from another Country yet, but Keld obviously earned a good Name. So i may try this Year. Greetings from frosty Germany:-) Florian
Would you please, what is the link of this video update?
Ghsultana Acsaray there is no update! You have to make your own, with your own grafting! Go for it!!
Hello.
why dont you use an egg to place in the cup on top of jelly ?
cool
🇹🇷👍👍👌👏
Hi my name is Yavar I’m from Australia I have a question, whatever I do, my bees throw the eggs out of where they are. If you can give me a bad explanation about this, thank you.
How can they have Royal gelly already? Isn’t royal gelly only fed to queen cell not workers cell
i am interested so much , please show me the age of the larvae for grafting and related requirements?, thank you
That’s what I described in the video!!! All larvae should be 12/24 hours old maximum
@@richardnoel3141 Thank you
What cups do you use?
Scott Collins i use the Nicot vous. For me their more adaptable and I can cage my queens easier before the hatch!
The JZBZ vous are gréât, it’s mais story personal preference and what works best for you!
@@richardnoel3141 I thought it looked like them. That's what I was wanting to use to because they fit the whole system especially the cages.
which breed is this?
BUCKFAST
You should have shown how you got the cover on that cell builder with all those bees on there. 😧
I am from India
200 euros I don't blame you for cutting her wings . Did she come with free ancestry documents. 😁😎👍
Eric's Everything yes, full history and genetic lines!!!
Fastbuck for yeah 🤐😵🤫

ماهو عمر اليرقة المطلوب لإنتاج ملكة جيدة
تأتي أفضل ملكات من يرقات عمرها 12 إلى 24 ساعة. من المهم أن يكون لديك أصغر يرقات.
@@richardnoel3141 شكرا لك لماذا تستخدم نقل اليرقات يدويا
أليس جهاز جنتر أفظل لإنتاج الملكات
No problem but Keld Brandstrup is from Denmark
i love your work bro. but it is cruel to them threatening their tiny life when you hit frame on the box. some of bees got pressed bro.. dont forget they are working hard to you.
200 euro! She was a bargain, breeder queens over here will easily run you double that price.
It’s not a GRAFT! You grafted nothing. You may have transferred but transfer and grafting are two totally different things.
Bill Hanson in beekeeping we all this grafting. I would be interested to know what your referring to???

Good evening, I am from Algeria, and I watch you through videos, although I do not understand what you are saying, but through practical work, I thank you very much for the valuable information. I had 27 mountain beehives of the black bee type, but only five beehives remained.
It is nice to learn from you, although I lack some equipment, such as the German Genter device, it is not found here in Algeria, and if it is located in distant cities, and now I am trying to learn from you to raise queens so that I can have several boxes of bees. Thank you, and if you can send me The device for breeding the queens of Genter will be better. Thank you, and I wish you good luck
