Fun to see you starting your next season as my bees are beginning their long fall and winter here in South Texas. I’m hoping to graft for the first time next year and watching and listening to you work your hives is great information. Thank you!!
Hi from across the ditch in southern New Zealand 👋😃 love those little nucs theyre awesome 👍 just started raising a couple of cells last week with a egg frame and the weather's been diabolical with wet snow but got two decent cells drawn so happy with that result. Plenty of drones showing up now so hopefully we get a good spell in the weather for mating, looks pretty good. Really interesting 👋👍😃 Great video
It’s been hard to find some nice weather for doing bee work down here. But I did graft last Thursday. Did about 70 cells. I’m confident at least some of them will turn out well. We’re right at the start of swarming season here so the bees are in the mood to make queen cells. I found quite a few hives with cups with eggs and started swarm cells last Thursday. I think I’m going to have a bit of a difficult swarm season. I wish I had a heap of equipment so I could just split everything now to avoid swarming
I have really enjoyed your mini nuc videos. This gives me some ideas. I’m thinking about using this approach to get some of my grandchildren interested in beekeeping. They around10 to 13 years old. I’m getting older too (77) and am toying with trying this for small scale queen rearing. Thank you.

Cheers. Thanks for watching. Keep an eye out for more coming up.
I hope the weather improves so the girls may go outside and enjoy some nectar.
We are starting to get some nice days. Should be ok from now on

Thanks. Good to hear from you. Hope the queens turn out well. Cheers
Great to see some new mini nuc videos.
Thanks Glenn. I’ve been enjoying your videos so I thought I should get motivated and make some myself
@@bennybeekeeperI need to do some grafting as soon as this rain clears up.

It’s a great way to get the next generation interested in beekeeping.
