hey guys! my hive swarmed and I saw no signs of a queen so I purchased one today from Glen. Of course I found eggs and larva today and no longer need the new queen. if anybody is interested in her please shoot me and email olson.james.h@gmail.com. thanks-Jim

I’ve got both bumblebees and honeybees all over my ceanothus.

Can that link for the certification course offered through the state be put in the chat?

That was great, Brian, I've never seen one before!

Thank you, Brian

I recently heard a newly emerged virgin queen piping. I understand the purpose of the piping, but am curious if a mated queen would ever pipe?

Did I misunderstand, Dewey said 20% of the time there's 2 queens or 20% of the time whaaat?

He did say that 20% of the time there are 2 queens.

This was in one of my hives a couple years ago. Hard to see one of them but there are 2 queens

Will workers repair a damaged queen cell?

What triggers the queen to lay eggs in the cups?

After a colony swarms and is now bivouacked generally where is the queen in the mass of bees? On the outer layer? Inside the central core?

When there are many queen cells on a frame, it seems a shame to "waste" them. What do you think of cutting the cells out and starting them in a nuc.

do we know why the bees put the honeycomb pattern on the outside of the queen cells?

What determines whether a virgin queen is making a mating flight or she is going to after swarm with more bees and leave?

I’ve got another—will virgin queens wait for good weather for mating flights? If so, for how long?

How does one collect a capped queen cell from a frame

How does a queen find the drone mating area?

If 20% of the time there are 2 queens in a hive, is it likely at some point the old queen will decide to swarm?

There are a couple of u tube videos showing cutting queens out

In what month do you typically make up nucs for the fall? Do you use mated queens or do you allow the nuc to make their own queen?

Amazing information! Thanks so much, Dewey!!!

Thanks, Dewey!

Great meeting, thank u for sharing your knowledge!!!!
