Or they did make a queen but the virgin has only a 75% chance of making it back. She can get lost and enter a hive with a queen and they will kill her.
Went and pickup my package of bees at your store Saturday looked like a few escaped from their shipping box lol. From watching your , how to install packages vids . took a whole 3 minutes To install I really thank you a lot for sharing your knowledge for us NEW BEEKEEPERS . Thank You
I found the checking of the queen and how they were receiving her to be really instructive Thank you. I will do this test each time I requeen. I have had two queens rejected. An expensive exercise.
Dave, what a great educational channel you have created. I watch every one of your videos and appreciate your passion for beekeeping and your passion for teaching others the science and art behind beekeeping. Bravo to you!
Love your videos ... Loved picking up packages at your store, laughed all the way home about all the bees flying around the store .. It made for a super fun day ...
Thank you brother I have a hide that was really loud and I checked it and it didn't have a queen I enjoy watching you been following you a year I'm a new bee keeper and you have helped me a lot thank you again
good instructional video i put a new queen in a split i started last year ,everything going good,building up then they absconded there was plenty of room.
1:09 made me panic- wearing earphones for videos like these do not help. Whatsoever. :’) I love the content though, it’s rather interesting! Keep it up!
If anyone doubts that Barnyard truly has gentle bees as David always says, you need not worry. This year is my first time getting a package as I’ve always just done splits in years past, but wanted to get some fresh genetics into my apiary this year. It’s been 3 weeks now and I can say that David’s bees are truly the most gentle I have ever worked with. No need to even wear a veil and even when pulling frames to check that the queen was laying (and she is!) I didn’t even use smoke and the bees couldn’t care less that I was in the hive. They have already fully drawn out 8.5 frames and the deep is now full of pollen, bee bread, brood, nectar, and their even starting to cap honey. When the new brood starts emerging later this week I think I’m gonna have to already add another deep to the girls. They are far and away out producing my other colonies. I’ll be reserving a much larger package order for next spring..........
I was making a split and the queen cell i put into my box got knocked down. I put it back up, but now i noticed bees arent on it. Does that mean the queen inside is dead?
I had a hive with 200 lbs of honey stacked 8 feet high and when I pulled the honey in August they were queen less. Why did they go queen less? I don’t want to tear down 8ft and 200 lbs of honey supers in the middle of July to check for a queen. Do you know of an easier way?
Hi everyone I caught a swarm I think I misplaced queen I have strong hive but no queen. Is it wise to buy mated queen or craft it out of existing larvae but it's not /young or new larvae it is capped brood
Very Good sign! Thanks for pulling the Frame back out! Now you won't need to next day, right? Wanted to say you should have let us See Bees Before Smoking, but knowing you did, That Works - i can imagine. =)
I’m getting my pack of bees wed what’s your suggestion on what I need to do ASAP when I dump them I made 2 gallons 1:1 sugar water also bought a pollen patty so any help would be appreciated thanks
I just got bees in hive and damn storm blew in tell ya nothing went right but I got clerical top feeder full of sugar water and a pollen patty in there they should be good right?
David, what’s the inside length of your nucs? Inside/outside frame rest. I made some the other day out of 5/8” plywood and they’re a hair short. Frames are tight.
Hi, thanks for video. April 13th in Queensland Australia, Autumn 31c days / 15c nights. Which of your videos should I watch that suit what my first bee hive needs. Have brood box, queen excluder and top box. 18 frames all up plus 4 with nectar in my house.
Will a queenless hive bring in pollen. someone gave me what they believe to be a queenless hive. They are bringing in pollen. I don't want to open the hive until i have a queen in hand it will be here tomorrow. any suggestions, Thanks Dennis
Beekeepers try to move slowly, and the bees move fast. So as much as you expect that everything a beekeeper does is going to squash a bee - it actually does not happen that often. As logic would tell you - bees don't like it when you go about smashing bees, so the beekeeper learns quickly to be careful. This is especially true if you see beekeepers with little or no protection on (the bee suit) - because if they do that too much, the bees will react. Or were you just assuming that beekeepers like to destroy parts of a colony they spend huge amounts of time and money nurturing?
Maybe someone can help me. I have never had bees before and I did a hive removal to get my first hive today. I put them in a five from nuc and let them be for about five hours then I went to find the queen because I wasn’t sure if I had got her when I got the hive. When I smoked the hive the whole hive left and swarmed in a tree above the apiary. Can someone tell me why they swarmed on me. I was able to get the queen back in the box and put her in a queen clip until tomorrow when I want to try and clip her wings.
Unless you had brood or something holding them to that hive they can easily swarm off and leave. New packages will do this sometimes. Best thing you can do next time is either dump them in a nuc with some brood from another hive or do not disturb them much in the first few days while they settle in.
I hate watching bee videos this time of year. You are re queening hives there and here they are forecasting 18 F highs and 3 F lows yet most of this week yet.
I’m always amazed that I hive can go queenless. They are capable of making a queen and they know when they’re queenless
Maybe the queen was sick and stopped laying for a week before she died. By then there were no young larvae to make a new queen. Just a SWAG.
Or they did make a queen but the virgin has only a 75% chance of making it back. She can get lost and enter a hive with a queen and they will kill her.

Great Luck to You and New Family of Bees! - i'm envious, but each day closer ~ Cheers!
@Yo Mama just that easy,
I found the checking of the queen and how they were receiving her to be really instructive Thank you. I will do this test each time I requeen. I have had two queens rejected. An expensive exercise.
Beehive Anarchy Anarcho Hivism
BARNYARD BEES always upload some grate educational video's for the new beekeepers👍
Ive never raised bees or anything but I love watching your content it is relaxing to me , it's like nature in my backyard. Thanks! 👍
Thanks so much.
Dave, what a great educational channel you have created. I watch every one of your videos and appreciate your passion for beekeeping and your passion for teaching others the science and art behind beekeeping. Bravo to you!
Thanks so much I appreciate that!!!
Very interesting. Thank you. I have some bees in hive in a tire I am relocating, and because of this I think the hive is queenless.
Love your videos ... Loved picking up packages at your store, laughed all the way home about all the bees flying around the store .. It made for a super fun day ...
I could see the Azanov gland. Yep, happy girls that mamma is home. Good job.
Thank you brother I have a hide that was really loud and I checked it and it didn't have a queen I enjoy watching you been following you a year I'm a new bee keeper and you have helped me a lot thank you again

Thanks for all your help. I just had a hive go queenless
You are quite welcome
Thanks Dave, I needed this confirmation.
It's 2AM and I don't even own a Bee 🐝
😂😂😂
Too funny😂 Maybe you have bees now?
@@colleennazarcrank6013 I still don't own any 🤣
Forward to 2:27 left side in the middle looked like it was a Queen
Large drone.
1:09 made me panic- wearing earphones for videos like these do not help. Whatsoever. :’) I love the content though, it’s rather interesting! Keep it up!
I've learned alot from you bro..
Can you harvest virgin queens in your nucs? Just wondering how you get queens for splits over and over?

Another great video thanks David
@Backyard Bees NC Barnyard bees is Randy ???
@Backyard Bees NC I talked to Randy on the phone that's how I know his name
@Backyard Bees NC Ah thanks I fix that now
@Backyard Bees NC I hate when ppl run under another name its hard to remember all the names
Great info. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks
2:28 queen??
Superb video. 👍🏻
Can you do a video on what to do when you have laying workers??
David great video as always :). I was wondering if you will still have packages for sell in 2 or 3 weeks?
Good morning, David... How late in the summer can re-queen or just combine with another hive? Piedmont NC.
Should you place the queen at the bottom if requeening in October?
Great videos. I watch yours first thing every day. What do you think about queen cells?
Absolutely, yes use them.
I had a hive with 200 lbs of honey stacked 8 feet high and when I pulled the honey in August they were queen less. Why did they go queen less? I don’t want to tear down 8ft and 200 lbs of honey supers in the middle of July to check for a queen. Do you know of an easier way?
Harvest honey as they fill up supers. 200 pounds just sitting there is around $1000 in my world. Feeding is cheap.
Mike Ries I can’t harvest until the end of the season (last year 900 lbs) so I just stay on top of them by adding supers.
larry tornetta y can’t u harvest now?
NotAFuckinPplPerson a professional beekeeper extracts and jars my honey. He has the equipment and manpower.
Hi everyone I caught a swarm I think I misplaced queen I have strong hive but no queen. Is it wise to buy mated queen or craft it out of existing larvae but it's not /young or new larvae it is capped brood
I slapped my right ear @1:09 😂
Very Good sign! Thanks for pulling the Frame back out! Now you won't need to next day, right?
Wanted to say you should have let us See Bees Before Smoking, but knowing you did, That Works - i can imagine. =)
If there are larvae there or cappee brood? Will they create a queen?
Were the clusters of bees at the bottom of the frame of capped brood tending to queen cells?
Could you give us the dimentions of these 3/4 plywood boxes or even 10 frame box dimentions.
I’m getting my pack of bees wed what’s your suggestion on what I need to do ASAP when I dump them I made 2 gallons 1:1 sugar water also bought a pollen patty so any help would be appreciated thanks
I just got bees in hive and damn storm blew in tell ya nothing went right but I got clerical top feeder full of sugar water and a pollen patty in there they should be good right?
@@devshewitt4809 as long as the temp is above 50f, liquid sugar water is fine.
Have you ever done a terms video? Queen cells, drone cells, capped brood, "swarm." If not, where to go for like a glossary?
@oShane Kasper Thx. Will follow this advice.
Hi hope u have a great time
First comment
David, what’s the inside length of your nucs? Inside/outside frame rest. I made some the other day out of 5/8” plywood and they’re a hair short. Frames are tight.
Hi, thanks for video. April 13th in Queensland Australia, Autumn 31c days / 15c nights. Which of your videos should I watch that suit what my first bee hive needs. Have brood box, queen excluder and top box. 18 frames all up plus 4 with nectar in my house.
Will a queenless hive bring in pollen. someone gave me what they believe to be a queenless hive. They are bringing in pollen. I don't want to open the hive until i have a queen in hand it will be here tomorrow. any suggestions, Thanks Dennis
About how many days before the bees relese the queen from the cage?
Do you have any tricks for replacing a laying worker??
R.I.P. to those have trypophobia but wanted to watch this video
david great video. how long after capped queen do they hatch out?
16 days
Typically how long should wait to see brood after introducing a queen cell , where the queen should emerge in two days?
20 days after hatching depends on how she mates too, weather, if she makes it back to the hive
need to make some splites dont have any queen cells yet can i make queenless nucs to get some
hello i just have one question is it ok to keep beehives next to agricultural fields
How many bees get smashed when you remove and replace the slats etc?
Beekeepers try to move slowly, and the bees move fast. So as much as you expect that everything a beekeeper does is going to squash a bee - it actually does not happen that often. As logic would tell you - bees don't like it when you go about smashing bees, so the beekeeper learns quickly to be careful. This is especially true if you see beekeepers with little or no protection on (the bee suit) - because if they do that too much, the bees will react.
Or were you just assuming that beekeepers like to destroy parts of a colony they spend huge amounts of time and money nurturing?
Julie Enslow Good Answer! Thank you. I don’t know that o made any assumptions. That’s why I posed the question. So the take home is move slowly.
Why didn't they create a Queen cell?
That's what I'm curious about... following.
They might have. But she died during rain or cold front. Maybe a bird ate her during mating flight.
Tried to order queens yesterday and your website said they are unavailable. Any idea when you will start shipping?
What do you do if you have a queen but she is not laying any eggs.
I'm new to beekeeping and im.really more sure if my hive is queen less even after a few videos can u help me.please
I still need help telling if my hive is queenless..im.seeimg queen cells..can I email someone?
I would like to get two queens ? of y’all well you ship too North Carolina ? and how much?
Call them or go to their website
Wow
Maybe someone can help me. I have never had bees before and I did a hive removal to get my first hive today.

What am I doing with my life
They should be social distancing
Candy man, candy man........
Why am I watching this at 3 am
Don’t bees sting him
could we just wait until they make another queen?
Why is the first thing I think of while seeing this is Hollow Knight?
I hate watching bee videos this time of year. You are re queening hives there and here they are forecasting 18 F highs and 3 F lows yet most of this week yet.
Oh no, so sorry . I feel for ya. We are very fortunate here in Ga.
Would they eventually make their own super cell/queen if you fed them?
They need 1-2 day old larvae to make a new queen but they don't have any larvae or eggs so they can't.
