Hello David! I thought I'd stop in and welcome you to the 100,000 RUclips Subscriber Club :) I wish you all the best going forward! Enjoy that Silver Play Button :)
Hi David, starting keeping bees next spring, been researching just over a year now and see Queen Rearing is the best way forward. Thanks for your videos, such a good educational resource!
My dad is almost 82 and we got him a bee starter set for Christmas. We just got our 5000 bees with queen and getting started. We are fascinated with this new venture for him. He wants to win the give-a-way you have. He does not know how to comment so I'm doing it for him. I know it's probably too late for the gift. Best to you, my friend.
First year beekeeper! Started with two hives and one had a queen event this summer and I was able to successfully split the hive. I now have three hives and have learned sooo much, but I definitely want to learn queen rearing. Looking forward to more videos.
Hi Darlene, I'm so looking forward to the day when you let us know how much you love raising queens. Thank you for being part of my RUclips Channel community
I'm in 3rd year beekeeping. I did harvest 16pints honey this year. I've been cramming from your videos about queens. My bees came from wild swarm my brother gifted me 3 years ago. Of course honey was #1 reason for bees but now my mind is broadening thinking about having more hives. I hate killing queens. One brother makes splits. I'm blown away how much knowledge your not afraid to share with the public on beekeeping. I so appreciated the videos on Fear to which I'm quilty. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm not afraid to add more hives to my Apiary. 🐝
1st year beek. Ive been studying for 5 years but couldn't start due to a relative living with us with alzheimers... this was my favorite video to save, I have hundreds in my library of important stuff to review. Thanks ks for a great queen rearing session!
Greetings David! Your first scenario sounds like what happened to me last season. Also my first bee season, I had only one hive and while I was on vacation, I had my hive swarm I think, when I returned saw eggs but no queen. Got a new queen and did the introduction correctly and they released her. Then the hive did not like her... so it was close to 2 months without a queen and could never catch up. This season I am going to do 2 hives.
Thank you for your content. I took a year off of beekeeping after our hives where stolen. The time off has left me feeling like a new beekeeper all over again. Its been very helpful to me to have you reinforce the basics and still have so much new information presented. Keep the videos coming.
Love that you are doing a series on queen rearing. You make a really good case to start my own queen rearing operation. I look forward to learn. I just worry I will have enough time.
We lost a hive this winter to mold. We are new to bee keeping and are making mistakes, but learning so much from your videos and book. We are determined to improve and succeed.
That exactly what happened two yrs ago with our first hive. We had nothing to compare it to. Covid was in effect and we learnt everything from books and youtube channels. and didnt know the small number was not normal . We saw some brood but couldn't tell if the amt was good. Then the hive was treated with formic pro. It did not make it through the winter.
Hi David, my first year my bee's absconded, I made many mistakes and didn't know if it was me or something else. Thank you for all the info you present it very well.
Ouch Mitch, that hurts when bees up and leave, all of them! I've had it happen to me too, so it's kinda like bringing home a new dog. It is hard keeping it in your yard. Or keeping a goat in a pin. I always recommend starting with two hives for this reason. Do you have any other hives are was that the only one. If it was your only one, please start again next year.
Yes! My husband and I with 3 of our children, slept not once, but twice overnight in the London Heathrow airport. Ugh! So nerve wracking! We can laugh about it now, years later, but then it was like a bad nightmare.
Excellent video and subject! I almost learned this the hard way. Now, I use swarm season to make plenty of nuc hives in the spring. Makes life so much easier. Now is the time to make or buy nuc boxes for the upcoming spring!
🤫 LOLI have honey but and now have to find away to get rid of it. Been feeding it back to them and in my coffee. Didn't think this process through just wanted to help bees and have a good garden.
Hello David, Thank you so much for teaching me new things about my bees. But it’s hard to me to find my queen. I worry about everything maybe it’s just very nice that my bees like me, they don’t bite are head butt me an they justify do get a little loud when they would like me to leave them alone
I lost 3 hives last month (November). I live in FL. Thought it was all robbing but only 1 had comb out front of the hive none had dead bees on the ground or bottom boards. Out of the 3 only 2 had a hand full of bees left in the hive. Now its to cold to see if there is a queen there with more cold coming. Hoping for a warm day to get in them as I do have a queen in a Nuc ready to go.
I am happy you went through how I lost my hive. I thought if I left them alone they would be fine! Then my husband complained about hat the backyard was swarming with bees. I’m told him couldn’t be my beee they are gentle and happy. Huh? I looked and it was like a ghost town. My bees came to the house to tell me something was wrong. I was too inexperienced to realize my hive was done by then. I was heart broken.
Finding the queen is hard for me. I would love some videos on that. Truthfully, this is the reason I don't check mites like I should or when I do, I use powdered sugar shake. I'd also love to replace my queen reach year like you do. I can buy the queens, but there is no guarantee I can find the old one. If you don't find the queen, how do you gain confidence that you can put the new one in.
As a student of your excellent on line classes.......this video is perhaps the most helpful of all! This queen rearing data made clear about the importance/ problem solving of the queens.
Hi Pati good to hear from you again, and thank you for being part of my quickly growing RUclips channel community. I hope I can continue to inspire you to get into raising queens.
David , in N.E. Georgia I lost half of a colony between Thanksgiving and Christmas due to swarm . . . I think . I moved the hive inside 1 1/2 weeks before the Christmas deep freeze . There was a small cluster . After Christmas I checked on the remainder . They were all dead . I removed each bee individually ( about 438) no queen . The next day after warming up I noticed bees flying trying to orient where the hive was . I'm thinking maybe ones that swarmed. I placed the hive back with food so far to no avail . I believe it has been too cold for bees to have been flying . Could they possibly return? I cleaned all dead bees , left honey and pollen stores and placed fondant with protein powder in the top of the hive .
Hey David- I believe that I may have experienced a queen event this year with two colonies. I lost one hive at end of fall and one during the winter. I was surprised to find there were no traces of dead bees either time. It looks like they absconded. I found abandoned brood/ and larva in fall hive and a few larva and capped over cells in winter hive. It bewilders me that they would abscond in winter if there is no place known to go. Also we have a skunk on property that I believe have bothered my hives. Do the bees slowly leave the hive right before they die perhaps?? - or is it more likely that they absconded or gotten eaten by the skunk?
Queen rearing. This is something I have not yet tried in my 4 years old beekeeping but this spring convinced me I need to try something new. Your video has convinced me I need to try queen rearing. Thank you.
Mug up at the Burn's, good morning everyone. Thanks to folks like you, being stuck inside gives me the chance to learn something new, thanks again. Took me until my 2nd year[this year] to be calm enough to take my time and find a queen. It is getting easier. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas!
Hi David. My fiance and I started beekeeping this year. We purchased your beekeeping course including the queen rearing course and they were all great. These additional videos are great because it helps to hear you talk about the same topics over multiple videos because you bring up new tips and spark new thoughts from your comments. Thanks for all the great videos!
Hey David... Love the comment you said Seeing x1 in x60K made me laugh... bit like the Shopping Mall in the days up to Christmas ! 🎄 Does that apply to finding the Car in the Parking Lot too...😵💫 Tip : Maybe suggest to Newbies "Eggs are great ! But remember it's Queen Eggs" you want (Single one, deep in the Cell) to that of a laying Worker (several Eggs all together on the side Wall of one Cell. Not good !!! 🤔) Liking your enthusiasm on everything Queen related. And, that my Message here follows one from Fred Dunn ! Follow you both. Favourite US Beeks. Happy Holidays from Scotland. 🏴 🥳🎁🦃🌲⛄️❄️ 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Happy Beekeeping 2022. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 David : One future Video I would like to see, learn from is Egg, Larva selection (Which Hive to take from ?)... to get the best Home grown Queen ! It's challenging when yes, you have a Fab frame of laying pattern, "Yay." But boom... a Queen Event happens, and you made that Articial Split a Month or two before ! (Not relating to Queen failure by doing that Split.) Just saying.... You then Wonder : Will "My Queen(s) be as good, show that great Brood too ! I had an incoming Swarm last Summer, she had an awesome pattern, yet by late September, it was a Hive fail, in that I had a Nuc (made from another 3rd Hive) that 'saved' this "thought to be" Ace Colony, not !Learnt for sure. So yes, Newbies : make more than x2 Hives, even if x1 is a Colony, and the others are spaced time wise, Nucs off it, or them ! I started with x1 Horizontal Hive (needing a bought Nuc, the following Spring, to keep a Failed Post Winter Queen (Drone Layer) to get to having x8 lovely Hives. Consisting of that Horizontal Hive, and some Langstroth Hives, and Nucs. Then some UK National Hive(s) and Nucs. And finally to French Warre Hives. Like to learn off the different set ups. Now in the end of my Second Year of Bees, now giving a local Senior Retiree Bee Classes ! Wow. Teaching another really consolidates your own knowledge for sure. Want Winter over fast ! ❄️🌨 Missing my Bee Inspections a lot. So come on Spring, spring. OK did my OA Trickle recently (low Brood Laying re Season.). And now sourcing Bee Sale 'Deals', so who needs Santa ? I do.... ! 🎅 Can you fit a Nuc Box into a Christmas Stocking ? 🤣 🐝🎁🐝🌲🐝⛄️🐝🥳🐝🎅🐝
David, Love your videos.The knowledge you share about every aspect of bee keeping and Queen Rearing is fantastic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!
Interesting series on queen rearing. I am starting in the spring with 2 nucs. It was suggested to me to build some nucs boxes and rear a couple of queens. Your comments just back that up. Great information! Thank you!
I I love the serious that you’re doing on Kurt, queen rearing, and all the other Vet videos that you do and I’m looking forward to seeing you at hive live
Recently bought one of your courses and am excited about starting to raise my own queens. Will be watching your other videos on queen rearing. Thanks for all the information you provide.
Hello David. I'm not keeping bees yet. However, I'm preparing methodically to be successful when I do start. All your productions are my classroom training courses, including the paid material. I really appreciate you sharing your vast knowledge. I plan to start my first hive this coming spring, so all the advanced information you provide is being logged in my memory for future use. I thoroughly enjoy the full scope of bees and beekeeping...looking forward to the work.
Wow. So much information in this video I am going to have to watch this several times,still a little scared of raising queens. I don’t know what to do if I don’t need them,don’t want to get too big,trying to keep it a hobby
Great video on queen rearing. Im going into my 3rd year and entered winter with 3 hives. I am planning to focus on making NUCs in the spring and will rear my own queen.
I'm starting my 3rd year beekeeping and this series is very timely. Queen rearing is my new item to learn this year. I experienced queen events in early fall and it set my hives back.
You can do it Sharon! My queen rearing Online Course will be a big help if you haven't taken it yet, here it is: www.honeybeesonline.com/online-queen-rearing-course-online/
David, I really enjoy your videos. This one on Queen Rearing was very helpful. I have been keeping bees for 4 years. I am very interested in raising my own Queens for my apiary. Thanks again. Jim
Great Advice David! Many Beekeepers Can overlook the Queen even myself when I started out, But Great Job David with the Videos and Congrats on the 100k Subscribers! Have a Great Holiday! God bless
I’ve wanted to learn the art of Queen Rearing for many years. But, I’ve never taken the leap. Even though it’s snowing and cold outside. Your enthusiasm in your video gets me all FIRED up. Ready to take on the challenge. Thank you David
2nd year beekeeper and last fall started some resource hives and really liked doing it, the inspections were fast and it really raised my confidence with my beekeeping skills. This year I want to raise some backup queens so your queen rearing videos are perfect timing, as with all of your videos I’m looking forward to the future ones!
Hi David! I’m really enjoying your queen rearing series. I have been a beekeeper for several years, but have always been really skeptical of raising my own queens because it always seemed so difficult. Your method of raising queens seems so easy.
Another great educational video on queen rearing. It is my hope that in this series, you will do a video on banking queens such as the procudes involved from hatching to how you keep them in the ballpen. Thanks again.
I have three 10 frame hives that are going to be my start into beekeeping come spring. This is great information and will definitely be looking into queen rearing as part of my overall beekeeping experience to give me a backup plan if needed.
I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Caught a swarm in may so still in my first year. Love learning about bees and the queen rearing process
Hello David! I thought I'd stop in and welcome you to the 100,000 RUclips Subscriber Club :) I wish you all the best going forward! Enjoy that Silver Play Button :)

Hi David. Your tip on taking pictures of the frames for further examination on the computer is so helpful. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Love that you are doing a series on queen rearing. You make a really good case to start my own queen rearing operation. I look forward to learn. I just worry I will have enough time.
You can do it!
We lost a hive this winter to mold. We are new to bee keeping and are making mistakes, but learning so much from your videos and book.
We are determined to improve and succeed.
Need to reduce the moisture by keeping a candy board on all winter, like our winter-bee-kinds
One of my top concerns right now is to make sure my hive has room for the queen to keep laying eggs at different times of the year.
Hello David, new bee keeper here. I had to spend 24 hours in the airport in Tokyo. North open…
This is the information I needed on queen rearing. Just at the right time too. Thank you David for sharing your expertise so selflessly.
Thank you Tony!
Queen rearing! Can't wait to give it a try!
Queen rearing... I just want to learn and Iike your sharing & sharing (:
Following the queen rearing. Interesting information
Thank you
That exactly what happened two yrs ago with our first hive. We had nothing to compare it to. Covid was in effect and we learnt everything from books and youtube channels. and didnt know the small number was not normal . We saw some brood but couldn't tell if the amt was good. Then the hive was treated with formic pro. It did not make it through the winter.
David where can we get the wheel you mentioned in your Queen Rearing?
Hi David, my first year my bee's absconded, I made many mistakes and didn't know if it was me or something else. Thank you for all the info you present it very well.

Unfortunately I couldn’t make the Hive Life Conference! Excited to try my hand at queen Rearing thanks for teaching this topic!
thx bro for all of the information i love your videos , planning on keeping bees this year
thank you so much again
Yes! My husband and I with 3 of our children, slept not once, but twice overnight in the London Heathrow airport. Ugh! So nerve wracking!
We can laugh about it now, years later, but then it was like a bad nightmare.
And that's one crowded airport for sure
A lot of good information. I am going to give it a try this summer.
Please do!
I made some mating nucs to raise some queens. This subject has caused me some frustration so I decided to do something about it.
Excellent video and subject!
I almost learned this the hard way. Now, I use swarm season to make plenty of nuc hives in the spring. Makes life so much easier.
Now is the time to make or buy nuc boxes for the upcoming spring!
I'd make them. So much cheaper
So excited to try queen rearing. It is difficult to find queens when you need them. Thank you
So true Holly and you never know if you are getting a good one or not.
I have not spotted my queen yet. Have two hives did some splitting after i had a swarm in april.
When my hive is making supercedure cells, could I put a cage over the cell and bank it when it hatches?
Queen Rearing! Looking forward to this series!
Thanks Joyce. Queen rearing is so fun and powerful.
Excellent content
I so some people ed polenpouder in1/2 galon jar of 1to1 sugar water how much pounder should I put in rsvp tanks in advance
🤫 LOLI have honey but and now have to find away to get rid of it. Been feeding it back to them and in my coffee. Didn't think this process through just wanted to help bees and have a good garden.
Nice problem to have.
Hello David,
Thank you so much for teaching me new things about my bees. But it’s hard to me to find my queen.
I worry about everything maybe it’s just very nice that my bees like me, they don’t bite are head butt me an they justify do get a little loud when they would like me to leave them alone
Hopefully they will always be your friend.

Hoping for a warm day to get in them as I do have a queen in a Nuc ready to go.
That's sad Scott. Hopefully, you can decide a few things to try differently.
Excellent Video. Thanks!
Thanks
Loving your videos, especially the one about queen rearing. Hope I win the free giveaway 🐝
I am happy you went through how I lost my hive. I thought if I left them alone they would be fine! Then my husband complained about hat the backyard was swarming with bees. I’m told him couldn’t be my beee they are gentle and happy.

Queen Rearing* I love your videos and you have helped me so much in my first year. I would like a chance to win the wheel. Thank you 🐝
Hi Rozenwyn, I’m glad you are finding my videos helpful.
This series makes queen rearing sound less complicated than I thought
Without a proper understanding, and without having to know every single thing, getting your feet wet raising queens is tons of fun.
I'm super excited about queen-rearing.. I lost a hive due to a queen event.
Hi Pati good to hear from you again, and thank you for being part of my quickly growing RUclips channel community. I hope I can continue to inspire you to get into raising queens.
David , in N.E. Georgia I lost half of a colony between Thanksgiving and Christmas due to swarm . . . I think . I moved the hive inside 1 1/2 weeks before the Christmas deep freeze . There was a small cluster . After Christmas I checked on the remainder . They were all dead . I removed each bee individually ( about 438) no queen .

I believe it has been too cold for bees to have been flying . Could they possibly return? I cleaned all dead bees , left honey and pollen stores and placed fondant with protein powder in the top of the hive .
I like helping with the queen
How many drones to I have to raise to have my queen to be properly bred? Let’s say I have 2 colonies.
That's a great question for me to answer on my livestream tonight, Thursday at 7pm central time. Here's the link: www.honeybeesonline.com/live
In my long have I find my queen every time I go in to inspect my 3 10 frame I have a real hard time finding the queen in them
package is bad. what wooden sections when its all hidden?
Hey David- I believe that I may have experienced a queen event this year with two colonies. I lost one hive at end of fall and one during the winter. I was surprised to find there were no traces of dead bees either time. It looks like they absconded. I found abandoned brood/ and larva in fall hive and a few larva and capped over cells in winter hive. It bewilders me that they would abscond in winter if there is no place known to go. Also we have a skunk on property that I believe have bothered my hives. Do the bees slowly leave the hive right before they die perhaps?? - or is it more likely that they absconded or gotten eaten by the skunk?
Both, it is just hard to tell. I doubt they would abscond in winter. Probably slowly died off.
Hi David! I'm a first time, first year bee keeper and I have yet to find my queen!
Hi Sis, it is challenging so don’t feel bad. Remember only look for her on frames that have eggs.
How do I raise qweens?
Queen rearing. This is something I have not yet tried in my 4 years old beekeeping but this spring convinced me I need to try something new. Your video has convinced me I need to try queen rearing. Thank you.
If you have young larve and no space for eggs to be put, then it isn’t as bad. How to solve that problem? I don’t know.
Mug up at the Burn's, good morning everyone. Thanks to folks like you, being stuck inside gives me the chance to learn something new, thanks again. Took me until my 2nd year[this year] to be calm enough to take my time and find a queen. It is getting easier. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas!

Hey David... Love the comment you said Seeing x1 in x60K made me laugh... bit like the Shopping Mall in the days up to Christmas ! 🎄
Does that apply to finding the Car in the Parking Lot too...😵💫
Tip : Maybe suggest to Newbies "Eggs are great ! But remember it's Queen Eggs" you want (Single one, deep in the Cell) to that of a laying Worker (several Eggs all together on the side Wall of one Cell. Not good !!! 🤔)
Liking your enthusiasm on everything Queen related.

David :
One future Video I would like to see, learn from is Egg, Larva selection (Which Hive to take from ?)... to get the best Home grown Queen ! It's challenging when yes, you have a Fab frame of laying pattern, "Yay." But boom... a Queen Event happens, and you made that Articial Split a Month or two before ! (Not relating to Queen failure by doing that Split.) Just saying.... You then Wonder : Will "My Queen(s)
be as good, show that great Brood too !
I had an incoming Swarm last Summer, she had an awesome pattern, yet by late September, it was a Hive fail, in that I had a Nuc (made from another 3rd Hive) that 'saved' this "thought to be" Ace Colony, not !Learnt for sure. So yes, Newbies : make more than x2 Hives, even if x1 is a Colony, and the others are spaced time wise, Nucs off it, or them !
I started with x1 Horizontal Hive (needing a bought Nuc, the following Spring, to keep a Failed Post Winter Queen (Drone Layer) to get to having x8 lovely Hives. Consisting of that Horizontal Hive, and some Langstroth Hives, and Nucs. Then some UK National Hive(s) and Nucs. And finally to French Warre Hives.
Like to learn off the different set ups. Now in the end of my Second Year of Bees, now giving a local Senior Retiree Bee Classes ! Wow. Teaching another really consolidates your own knowledge for sure.
Want Winter over fast ! ❄️🌨 Missing my Bee Inspections a lot. So come on Spring, spring. OK did my OA Trickle recently (low Brood Laying re Season.). And now sourcing Bee Sale 'Deals', so who needs Santa ?
I do.... ! 🎅
Can you fit a Nuc Box into a Christmas Stocking ? 🤣

Beware of laying workers, for sure.
Mine was marked and I had a hard time finding her.

Interesting series on queen rearing. I am starting in the spring with 2 nucs. It was suggested to me to build some nucs boxes and rear a couple of queens. Your comments just back that up. Great information! Thank you!
Hi David I really love how enthusiastic you are about bee's. It is addictive listening to your videos.
Hi Neil, thank you!
Hi David, loved your queen rearing class. It has got me excited to give it a try. This series is a great refresher. Thank you.

Great video on queen rearing. Im going into my 3rd year and entered winter with 3 hives. I am planning to focus on making NUCs in the spring and will rear my own queen.
Hi Emil, raising your own queen is so powerful!
I'm starting my 3rd year beekeeping and this series is very timely. Queen rearing is my new item to learn this year. I experienced queen events in early fall and it set my hives back.
I lost 2 out of 5 hives this year so i am going to try raising my own queens wish me luck .
You can do it Sharon! My queen rearing Online Course will be a big help if you haven't taken it yet, here it is: www.honeybeesonline.com/online-queen-rearing-course-online/
David,

Great Advice David! Many Beekeepers Can overlook the Queen even myself when I started out, But Great Job David with the Videos and Congrats on the 100k Subscribers! Have a Great Holiday! God bless
Watching these videos is giving me confidence to try queen rearing this spring.
I’ve wanted to learn the art of Queen Rearing for many years. But, I’ve never taken the leap. Even though it’s snowing and cold outside. Your enthusiasm in your video gets me all FIRED up. Ready to take on the challenge.
Thank you David
Queen rearing sound so exciting!
I am really enjoying these new queen raising videos. Thanks David
2nd year beekeeper and last fall started some resource hives and really liked doing it, the inspections were fast and it really raised my confidence with my beekeeping skills. This year I want to raise some backup queens so your queen rearing videos are perfect timing, as with all of your videos I’m looking forward to the future ones!
Good to hear Robin and I hope you can get into Queen rearing.
Doh ! "Two" French Warres !
Congrats on the subcriber goal! Thank you for the wonderful support for queen rearing.
Very informative to me about queens, and now I known I need to have. Back up queen for the year to come thanks
Yes Anthony, it is aways powerful to have some back up queens.
Once I made a queen by an egg oh I was so exited .
I still have a hard time finding the queen! I' m guilty!
Not easy for any of us Becky
Hi David! I’m really enjoying your queen rearing series. I have been a beekeeper for several years, but have always been really skeptical of raising my own queens because it always seemed so difficult. Your method of raising queens seems so easy.
I like this information on queen rearing because I just made a 5 frame nuc box to use as a resource hive this spring. Thanks David
Make sure there are empty cells for the queen to lay eggs!
Another GREAT video full of well needed info David! This will help my Queen rearing next year
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for the valuable info. I enjoyed your info on Queen Rearing. Thanks again from one Davie to another David.
Hi David! Thank you!
Another great educational video on queen rearing. It is my hope that in this series, you will do a video on banking queens such as the procudes involved from hatching to how you keep them in the ballpen. Thanks again.
I have three 10 frame hives that are going to be my start into beekeeping come spring. This is great information and will definitely be looking into queen rearing as part of my overall beekeeping experience to give me a backup plan if needed.
Wow David good for you!! Starting in the spring. Awesome and I'm excited for you
I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Caught a swarm in may so still in my first year. Love learning about bees and the queen rearing process
