- The push in queen cage is an invaluable tool for introducing queens.
Laying queens are always accepted. By utilizing this technique you safeguard your new queen.
In this video I show how to make them. It’s an easy relatively quick tool to make.
This style cage has been used for a long time. I’m adding a link to a video of Michael Palmer using them, from @richardnoel3141 channel.
• Michael Palmer push in...
First time I saw those was in a Michael Palmer video. I tried this in my first year (where inexperience cost me a lot of queens) they work great, gives time to the queen to get into lay, changing her smell and pretty much guaranteeing her acceptance.
Spraying the queen with sugar water is something I didn't know... and would have made it a lot easier back then, thanks you for that :D
This is a great tutorial and you are a solid dude for taking the time to put it out there.
Miss seeing videos from you Gus!!
I have also had 100 percent acceptance using this method. Thank you for the rubber band advice. I always do mine indoors! Will not say why!!! Lol! Great video! Great advice!!
Gus, watching this again getting ready for spring. I look forward to when you have time to do these again! Thankful for all of the knowledge in these videos. Be blessed!
Great tip! Quick and Easy! Thanks for sharing.
I started using this method this year and so far so good. 100% take for all instances that ive done this with. The workers do seem to somehow tunnel under the comb into the cage but i also havent been using the rubberband to hold it down firmly.
Another great video! I appreciate the practical, day to day beekeeping type of content that you’re putting out.
Thank you, my goal for this year is to show what I’m doing in my operation throughout this season.
I’ve had some videos I expected to be popular, not do well. I’ve had some that I don’t understand why they got so many views 😂
It’s trial and error.
Thanks for watching!
I done this last year in few few queen's and work really well, very easy to make Push cage .
Great video Gus 🐝🐝
Ha Gus this was good I have seen information on the push in cages but never seen a video how to make them Thank you so much for doing this. have a blessed week
Great video! I also to use these to cover queen cells when they have multiple queen cells on one frame.
I'll be making a few of these this afternoon.
Very informative! Great Video! By watching your videos it appears you run a good operation. Look forward to following and learning.
Thank you, I try to
Great information. Thanks for posting!
I enjoyed the video. Love these type how-to's.
Thanks again Gus. Great stuff! I am considering trying the single deep brood management system this season. Not sure what you run but If it works for you I would love to see you describe pros and cons and what to watch out for and how and when such a management system is employed. From what I gather more honey can be produced under this system. keep 'em coming.
good man
simple explanation
Thank you.
We put three push-in cages last week. Two were successful, but we caught our queen under the edge of the trap because we couldn't see her coming out. Also, we were fighting off the bees from the hive who did not want her. The bees began stinging her, we squished her, it was a disaster.
Sorry to hear that.
Confidence in handling will go a long way in situations like that. Keep at it.
@@gusmitchellcranesnesthoney6529 Thanks.
@Paul hamilton ,,,, ruclips.net/video/K_huraWtJeQ/видео.html (Good idea about the door)
I'm going to make one of these today and possibly transfer a queen over to a split that looks queenless. We'll see! I unfortunately don't have any brood in the split, just nectar in all cells which is why I'm thinking the split never had a queen make it. You say wait 5 days correct? I'll probably need to put some attendants in there with her from the original hive.
Clever! 'specially like the stapling corners trick.
Did you ever try just folding the edges up and corners around, instead of cutting them first?
I recently purchased 6 queens and lost 4 of them. I ordered a queen hotel from betterbee, I'm gonna get some of these as well. I don't intend on letting that happen again.
Thanks bor❤❤
Dear American Beekeeper,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your insightful method of introducing a new queen to a hive. I was particularly impressed with how you carefully guided the process, ensuring a smooth transition for both the queen and the colony.
Your expertise and dedication to beekeeping are truly commendable. I am confident that your method will prove invaluable to beekeepers worldwide.
As a beekeeper myself, I am always eager to learn new techniques and improve my practices. Your method has provided me with valuable insights that I will undoubtedly put into practice. I am grateful for your willingness to share your knowledge and experience with the beekeeping community.
Thank you again for your generosity and expertise. I am proud to be a fellow beekeeper.
With warmest regards,
Mohammed from sultante Oman muscat
@@mohdko A warm greeting to you as well❣️
Why do they call it cloth , when it's made out of wire how did that originat, Peter 🇦🇺
Great vid gus, I could see these coming in handy if you had multiple queen cells. You could let a couple queens emerge in a safe way and transfer her to a queenless colony. Think it could be used for that?
Sure
great video! is it acceptable to leave the candy in the queen cage with this method to prevent her from possibly flying away?
Not really no, you should remove the cage
@@gusmitchellcranesnesthoney6529 thank you
Was wondering if you ever used the cage to isolate queen cells that are caped so as to recover more than one immerging queen to use in another hive which yo split…???
What do you suggest for a hive with zero brood that has previously killed a new introduced queen. They have been queenless for 2-3 weeks!!
Where are you located? That will help me figure out what’s happening.
Thanks
@@gusmitchellcranesnesthoney6529 I'm in Queensland Australia.. a tad too far away...lol. would be nice if I could get someone to have a look and give advice etc..
@@PhilippinesCarl if they were giving me much trouble and I had other colonies, at this point I might shake all the bees out and give the combs to the other colonies, remove the hive and let the bees beg in to the others
Or
If you want to try again introduce a queen with a push in cage over sealed brood.
Good luck
How long should one leave a new queen in a pushin cage before releasing her? Is four days enough? Thx
Could this be used as a timing cage for grafting? So there's no guessing on the frame with the right age eggs?
You would probably need a much larger cage if you wanted to graft many cells. I suppose it could though, I never tried it that way.
If the queen lays under there, how do the nurse bees care for the new brood?
The emerging bees can become nurse bees, remember this is only a few days
Ah, so you put it over an area that already has capped brood with emerging bees. I see. Thanks
good thing but i think its to thick!
Did you watch the entire video?
I discussed the thickness and demonstrate it between combs.
@@gusmitchellcranesnesthoney6529 i cant remember but the cage is built very good.
hi sir! can we using this cage to keep layed queen for a month? beehive in summer in NY just grow way too quickly,we don't to add too many boxes onto the hive,we want to control the queen bee in the cage that she can't lay eggs in order to slow down the speed of colony growning. thanks!
