  Kamon,  I have always been a hobbyist beekeeper 30+ years. Have never successfully made nice queens unless I found a big queen cell in another hive....I look forward to seeing your series on queens!!!! I have usually resorted to buying queens from someone else, which is not always a pleasure in the end result. Thanks so much young man....Rick in Pa.

  Hi We are enjoying your videos so very much! They are packed with information.  We went into winter with 30 hives, lost 4, just split 5 and caught 2 swarms from one in our bee yard we knew was going to swarm no matter what. So now we are up to 33! When, what a journey! We attribute our winter success with our nucs from last year. We purchased them from an Apiary who is into getting and raising queens specifically bred for cold weather and resistant to mites.  As soon as we opened the nucs, we knew these bees were different. We are working toward to raising our own queens and are gathering information from beekeepers of which you are at the top of the list! We belong to a commercial bee club here, who because of their size well over 1K members) and hives (100+ each beekeeper) not to mention political connections is on top of most things in our state. Such as mite spraying from those planes way up you can barely see, stuff like hat.  Living in a large rural farming community we are somewhat protected from that stuff, not to mention rather large beekeepers in our area.  Yet and still, wee are aiming for 50 hives for our foundation.  Like many others in the north, we never know what the winter will bring so over the years we all develop ways to protect our bees and sooner or later we find what we believe to be the perfect combination of packed food storage, protection etc.  Wanted to share a bit about us and to let you know how much you are helping beekeepers out here!

  I dilute royal jelly with distilled water. It goes farther. Works well.
