What to Do When You See Queen Cells In a Beehive - FREE Download to Help You Through the Process

- It can be scary when you open your hive and see queen cells. Are they going to swarm? Did they swarm already? Is the queen dead? These are usually the questions that go through my head when I see a queen cell.
The most important thing to remember when you see queen cells is to not do anything rash like squish them all. We're beekeepers, after all, and our job is to help our bees, not squish every baby queen in sight.
Now that we've recovered from our initial response, it's time to figure out a game plan for what to do next. I have for you a Choose Your Own Adventure chart for when you spot queen cells in the beehive. This will guide you in the process of figuring out how to help your bees.

Refreshing. A knowledgeable, experienced and well spoken bee keeper without the ego associated with most RUclipsrs.
Found your podcast last week and it's so informative and I love how you break down everything so simply . I've already learned a lot about bees !
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for your genuine support of all us beeks.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for the clear presentation. This is/was extremely helpful and right to the point at various steps.
Supper beneficial once again. Thank you for giving your precious time to help all of us.
My pleasure!
"Luckily I'm not a bee." LOL! Love your videos! I'm an amateur beekeeper and have been a fan of yours for six months now. Thanks for the understandable flow chart and talking me through queen bees.
Thanks! I was thinking back to last week when my 4-year-old son called me "mean" while talking to his 18-month-old sister. LOL If I were a bee, I think my children would have replaced me a long time ago :)

So much amazing information in one video! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your videos they are always a great help.
Glad you like them!
Very informative lots of good info. Learned a lot of things as a new beekeeper.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for such handy pdf resources to accompany the video Larissa
You're so welcome!
I really appreciated that video. Thanks!
Thankyou for posting this.
You're welcome!
I had not thought of that about turning the frame up side down. It makes sense, you could dislodge or alter how the queen was laying in the jelly. 👍Thank you very much, I will remember that and pass it on.😁
I have a list of random beekeeping tips at my desk. Once I reach 20, I'll have to make a video.
Thanks for giving the details that's very helpfull to my bee's to increase my colony.
No problem!
Thanks for the content, very informative!
My pleasure!
Definitely only one of the children! very 'Romanesk' 👍😊🤔 Good job on everything your enjoyable to watch and easy to learn from, Im a beginner and just adding another deep box on the 3rd week after install of 2 packages w/mated Queens. so far so good. Mainland-Chicago Western burbs
You are a queen in itself ❤
Thank you. Simply excellent. Could you do a video on what to do if a hive seems to be dying? ... that is, with a few wax moth and more hive beetles than normal in it but with still enough bees for it to survive?
Thank you! I will add it to my list of video topics to work on. Thank you for the suggestion.
Just starting out, thanks for the videos. Hopefully won't have to deal with this till next year.
Hopefully :p
good job
great tutorial, 😊
Thank you!
New nuc only a week in the new home. I think I have a queen cell, what should I do? Summer time in Fl.
Thanks!
Thank you for the support!
Very detailed good videos
Glad you liked it
Love watching your show and I am concerned about how you are doing. Don't know which island you are on so I hope you are OK! 😢
I am ok. Thank you for asking. I am on the Big Island, but far from the fires.
Can you put a bot queen in a split hive?
Nice
I’m not sure where to find the chart
Good
I cannot find your sheet.
Are you and your bees safe over there?? I am in South Africa and have seen the fires going on over there. Please let us know thank you.🙏
We are ok. Thank you for asking. It was so terrible what happened on Maui.
Good👍👍👍
Thanks
I'm just looking to split my first hive I'm thinking of a walk away split but worried about not being able to find the Queen
You should check out my last video about how to split a hive - ruclips.net/video/oNWRAHpsL1Q/видео.html
If you have trouble finding the queen, get a pen to mark her. Once she's marked, spend one inspection looking for her. Use as little smoke as you can because that can encourage her to hide. Once you find her, put queen excluders on the hive to keep her in one box. Then, the next day do your split and it should be a lot easier to find her knowing what box she's in.
I don't see how to download the list. I wanted to download it, but nothing is working 😢

بالتوفيق ❤
I had 15 cells in 1 hive after she left. I tried to move 13 but it was to hot and the cells collapsed when trying to remove them from the foundation. Glad I left the 2 cells for that hive. Now I keep 3 nuc's on hand in case I need a queen. If I don't need them or want another big hive there is usually someone that will take bees.
When I first started queen breeding, I tried to cut out the queen cells and put them in a bunch of nucs I made. It did not go well. They looked ok when I moved them, but none of them hatched and successfully mated. And I wasn't even using foundation. Have you ever tried grafting? It can be kind of fun to try if you ever want to make a bunch of hives for yourself or to sell. Those queen cells are much easier to distribute.
