- How to do "On The Spot" Aka "Notching" Method for Beginners and for people that just haven't had time to learn to graft,or not prepared to Graft, ALTHOUGH I Believe Grafting is Far Superior to this method,matter fact, don't forget to shake in couple frames of Nurse Bees to hive you Notch to ensure they make well fed Queen's,you do this with eggs Not Larvae,that way it's more like a planned cell, when you graft it's different, you use larvae...

Excellent no nonsense demonstration, thank you! I promise I will still also graft queens after trying this method too!😇
It's whatever is easiest for you really
Interesting to watch how you could make queens in this way. 👍
Hey Arielle! Thanks for watching!!
Sir do, Baddest Bees, many thanks to you for the excellent video of the OTS "NOTCH" Queen Rearing Method. I know many of your followers will have a broader sense of the many methods available to beekeepers as you have demonstrated. Thank you from d good honey 🙏👍👋😁.
Your VERY WELCOME BRO!!
Man that's the best OTS presentation on YT.
Thank you man!
That was interesting and I actually understood, have a great Bee Day John!
You too Thanks!!
This was very interesting. I didn't know you could do that.
Thanks.
I really enjoy learning new things.. But ill keep the bee keeping to yall. Lol. Great video again
Thanks for Watching!!
Going give it a try
Its easy! You can do it !
thanks man cant be knowledge from experience,,,
Works best on wax sheet foundation it’s easiest to punch out the cells, I used to squash a V shape then drag the bottom cell open for superseder type QC
I’ve got a queen that is amazing this year and I would like to capture her genetics. In your opinion what’s the best way to reproduce a queen off of her?
Easiest way would be walk away split..if you want to flood her genetics would need to graft or cut cells from foundation less comb

Interesting tip. What is the link to be good honey? Thanks.
@Backyard Bees NC Thanks
Great info ! How do you know the egg is going to be a queen ?
A normal egg is fed Royal Jelly for three days ,small amount turns into worker bee.A egg that is fed copious amounts,flooded with Royal Jelly so Larvae feeds beyond that point and develop ovaries becomes a queen.Any egg fed a lil will be worker ( or Drone if on drone comb) whereas that same egg was floated in a huge pile of Royal Jelly and they brought the cell out and turned it into a Queen cell for it all to develop and hold it all will become a Queen.Usually a hive makes a cell bigger , into a Cup,which is a place to lay egg in purposely to make a queen.This works cause it mimics big "Cup" to make Queen out of
When do you remove the frame?
Do you wait for them to seal the queen cell?
In how many days would the bees remove the queen cell (if a queen was still in that hive)?
You add a frame of eggs NOT eggs with larvae on it too..only eggs..they cap it on day 5 from being laid and you remove it and put in queenless split on day 10...if there's a queen they'll remove the eggs more than likely unless you had it over an excluder in a second box far enough from the queen they felt queenless...you can take eggs without notch and put over excluder and they'll draw emergency cells sometimes
@@badassbees3680 Thank you so much!
Really liked the ots method it’s simple easy and anyone can do it when they know the right aged eggs to use, I understand the eggs should be 36 hrs or younger for good results , I’m curious as to why you think grafting is superior tho. I like most methods of queen rearing but some are just to much muckin around , even walk away splits can give you a queen for nuc colonies , going to try my hand at grafting this year just for the experience of it and see how I go. Cheers.
Done correctly it isn't Only emergency response, I could probably set up a Cellbuilder and get Basically superior results with ots compared to just a strong hive.. Basically I like WELL FED Queens and it literally takes thousands upon thousands of nurse bees to do it.A grafted cell 12 hrs or less can be fed from the very beginning,whereas a 36 hr emergency larvae can't.When you ots you SHOULD do eggs not larvae.Cell Builders can feed better,if you were here I could prove it by the amount of Royal Jelly left or missing after Queen Hatches.. obviously I mean normally,I'm not saying a hive can't feed well,what I'm saying is usually not as well as Beekeeper thinks, you can see through the graft cups and know if Queen Cup got packed full..there should be sooo Much,it doesn't run out,it's supposed to be Queens first meal after Emerging..It's ALL about the Royal Jelly and then getting Mated well,along with Strong Genetics..but the Royal Jelly is deciding factor for my belief that they are superior, and done correctly have Swarm impulse,Planned cell ..not uh oh Emergency Cell..Grafting is simple,Breeders try to keep you from trying, I can make a queen in less than 30 seconds, making Queens is simple, getting them returned safely and mated the hard part
Baddest Bees ...thanks mate for the reply, I liked your response as many beekeepers have different views on any given subject, I have seen the graft cells with the royal jelly loaded pretty well but I thought all cells were like that grafted or not but with jz bz cups definitely can see it very well, appreciate your views as it has given me a different approach as to how I look at things with bee keeping , liked and subscribed to your channel , love to see more videos mate , maybe even one on this topic as I think you have good points there, I will check your other videos 👍 happy bee keeping . 👍
@@fishmut look back at "biggest Pollen Frame on you tube" around that time I was sharing some stuff...
All cells Should Be full but not always are, so if I build a Cellbuilder they are,if I let a hive feed Queens they may or may not.. hardly nobody realizes nurse bees Should Be around 12 days old , you only see shaking nurse bees
how about a link for the bee good honey channel, can't seam to find it
Not be good..D Good ,there's a link below on Joe's same question,thank you for watching!!!
Amazing187
Thanks!!!
I tryed it once. in an out yard, hive had swarmed and didnt requeen. I new I wouldnt be back for a while to bring one, grabed a frame from another hive and did this. they fixed the comb, and filled the cells with honey. still had to requeen them. you never can tell about bees
Bees can definitely throw ya a curve ball, in the end their gonna do what they want to do usually..but sometimes we can pursuade them
I bet you anything they were short on Pollen and ate the eggs for protein,I've had mini Mating Nucs do that several times
@@badassbees3680 that could be
I've seen this before, always had questions about how it works out.
Wherever you do it, they'll do it... and then the bees will fix comb later
@@badassbees3680 You still make them queenless right?
But can you produce good numbers of queens this way? Some other methods are easy to mess up...
@@noahriding5780 yes you make them queenless and use EGGS.. don't put more than they can well feed, so a single deep could make a few no problem, don't try a pile unless you set it up with nurse bees pollen frame beside them, just like a cellbuilder...I don't use this method,I graft but I've done it back in the day and it works, everytime,guaranteed.if you get ready to try it and have questions my email is on my about page and I don't mind to help anyone.I mainly did this so new Beekeepers could EASILY make themselves Queens, you can to,it's easy 👍
@@badassbees3680 Thank you.
Slickness.
Thanks Randy!!
Could you do that and make say 2 or 3 on that frame and go back in when they start drawing them out and just leave the nicest one for them to take care of. I am afraid to try grafting because I don’t know enough about it.
You can but remember you do this with eggs not 4 day old larvae so while in theory you can,it's more like a planned cell than a true emergency situation.. but yeah you can do that.. you should learn this it's very simple..you should also try grafting because it's very simple too, don't let it intimidate you, I guarantee you can do it first or second try,as you get time,bees,etc.. until then you can be sustainable notching...
Whole basic premise of OTS is wrong from the get go! That hive is weak and small!
Well maybe you should have watched the video you would have heard that I don't do this method I was merely showing a guy that asked me to how to do it maybe you should watch my other video where my cells are so fing big they wont even fit in a roller cage..
Man, you're less focused than the camera!
Focus on seeing if you can fit it in your mouth
