I plan on requeening every 2 years but i just want the expeirience and possibly i could start selling nucs or not i donno

hmm, i kinda wanted to start my own queen bee raising system, mainly for myself.

i think they were Italian carnolian crosses. but i hope they produce honey!

hmm that's interesting. my queen is descended from carnolian stock, and her daughter is nearly pure black

layingn eggs is a must but i find darker queens more asthetically pleasing to me

I mean do you prefer your honey bee queen to have a really bright orange abdomen like an italian or a super dark abdomen like a caucasian

I have a question for all the beekeepers here. Do you prefer light honey bee queens that are mostly orange or dark honey bee queens that are mostly black?

nice story. all my bees have been extremely gentle when using a smoker

I have never had a problem finding my queens, and i have never had a marked queen

My nuc has a queen now she is gorgeous. She is nearly pure black with only the thinnest of orange stripes. she should start laying eggs soon i will check back around June 10th. she should have mated and have been laying eggs by then.

Its a cool name. I would never kiss a bee. I got stung today putting on a honey super, i barley felt it and the pain lasted only a few seconds

dux can be horrible. ever felt there claws, yeesh they are sharp. I do like duxs though

those are not bees, I know you mean sazkatraz

VSH bees and Sazkatraz are mite killers i believe

yep, and I want those bees to not have to treat my hives with miticides. I am getting a queen of them to requeen my current hive and then I will raise my own queens from her, for they only need 50% of the genes to exhibit the behavior

they are hygenic, which I think means that they keep the mite population at a low rate not eliminate them. they stop the mites from reproducing by chewing out the larvae in a 3 day window period when the mites are vulnerable

some strains of bees don't need mite treatments.

okay, the person who kids showed me around beekeeping said she had put supers on early and the bees acted like their was no space above them even though their was

okay. cool, i go into my hive and hopefully can put a super on today

I find the queen easy to find. well maybe not but i can usually find her How?????
