Using a push in Queen cage for the first time!

I've heard of this method before and have always wanted to try it. I have chalk brood in a couple colonies and am going to requeen them. It's mid August and its the perfect time to try this out.
Watch until the end to see the results.

Nice job man 👍 I recommend push in cages all the time to people. Thanks, I subscribed. Good health and God bless

I decided to use it in this situation where I don't want to risk loosing a queen this close to winter. In the spring I'd just use the traditional method.
Thanks for subscribing!
Cheers.

Here is some mind blowing facts regarding Honey Bees;
Honey bees and number 16; A female honeybee has 16 diploid chromosomes and the male has 16 haploid chromosomes. It takes a hive 16 days to make a Queen ie from an egg to a Queen Bee. Chapter 16 in the Quran is called “The Bee”. The word Bee mentioned only once in the entire Quran and it’s in 16:86. This verse is used only 16 Arabic letters(including the repetition) out of the 28 Arabic letters .
The shortest verse in chapter 16(The Bee) is verse 16. Verse 16:16 is made of 16 Arabic Letters. Chapter 16 (The Bee)is made of 128 verses, which is a multiplication of 16 ie(16x8) and 2080 Arabic words which is also multiplication of 16 ie (16x130). There are 992 Arabic words before the word An-Nahl(The Bee) 992=16x62. There are 1088 words from the word Bee to the end of the chapter, 1088= 16x68(16:68 is the verse where the word be is mentioned)
.
Allah(God) inspired/spoke to the bee as a female bee as it’s written in Arabic in The Quran >1400 years ago, Allah inspired her to do her tasks. Now we know that the Hive is run by females (>99% females) doing the tasks inspired to do), whilst Shakespeare spoke about bees hive as a kingdom run by a King and defended by his brave army of male bees! .
Also the Smoke, a honey beekeepers uses to calm bees, ends up as CO2, the Molecular Weight of CO2 is 44 and Chapter 44 in The Quran is called “The Smoke. “
Google “Aramaic dictionary” and translate the ward God into Aramiac(The language of the be loved Jesus, son of Mary, peace be upon him ) you will see its translation is AaLaH and in Hebrew is Allahum.
Finally read the last testament(The Quran) and you will see it makes since and you will say why no one told us about it.

I bought package b's back at me in about 2 months later couldn't find the Queen the Mars so I got a new Queen and put a nickname Queen and now it's gone I can't find it I would like to know what's going on

[@robwildfieldhoney]

I'm no expert but your colony may have have created it own queen via superseder. I'll give you a simple trick to tell if you have a queen without finding her 1) look for eggs, fresh eggs means a queen was there OR 2) put a new frame of eggs from another colony into your hive. If they draw out queen cells there is NO queen, if they do nothing and cap over the brood you have a queen. You can usually buy a frame of eggs from a queen breeder for anywhere between $30-$60.
Good luck.

Why you change their queen? isn't the old queen still in good condition and lay eggs?

[@robwildfieldhoney]

Good question Hendrik. No, that's why I had to change up the queen. The colony had chalk brood. The best way to fix it is by changing the queen.

Great video. What kind of mite treatment is that?

What you see here is the Oxalic acid and glycerine method.
