How to pick up a queen | How to add a queen to a queen cage

- Handling queens is one of the most risky and rewarding experiences in beekeeping. You'll feel like you've upgraded your beekeeping skills when you're holding a queen.
Don't be discouraged if it seems super easy. It's not, but it is all a mental game. I'm here to tell you a queen rarely stings. My big issue when I first started trying to pick up queens was the mental strain that I would drop her and never find her again, she'd fly away, and I'd squish her.
These things rarely happened. The most common issue I had was keeping a hold of her, but she wouldn't drop, she would climb up my arm.
Queen bees will bee just fine. Do your best and she will do her best for you!

Nice work. I enjoyed the video and even LEARNED something. Thanks!
Awesome! We're going to be doing a live stream tomorrow if you have any beekeeping questions you'd like to ask!
This summer will be getting used to lettin bees crawling on me as I literally freak out. Am practicing on dead bees and still have an issue picking them up, but like you, have to get over it for the bees sake. Will be awhile before I can pick up a queen without using the clip, but look forward to being one with muh bees
It all takes practice! One day it will just click! As long as you keep trying you're going to make a great beekeeper!
@@RascalApiary Could use a truck load of confidence get me through tho:)
Practice on the drones in your hand. They can’t sting
Great idea! We did that before we started marking queens.
Did you forget the attendant bees?
Nope, our queens aren't out of a hive long enough to need attendant bees.
If we were putting them on shelves waiting for buyers we would.
@@RascalApiary Fair enough! I guess that explains the amount of marshmallow as well
We couldn't find smaller and halving marshmallows is a chore!
