    Great video! Recently had an odd situation with my queen with a newly installed package and this video answered a TON of questions! I’m brand new to beekeeping and started with 2 hives, these types of videos help out a lot and I appreciate you taking the time to share all of your knowledge!

    Going through your videos as I have time, I have always had an "ugly" yard because I love bees. I sowed Dutch clover when we bought our farm in anticipation of getting bees.

    It's my understanding that packages are prone to supercedure because of the lack of brood pheremone present early into the install. By the time the queen has laid enough to generate enough pheremone, the supercedure cells are already built.

    My boss has a 40 acre lot and the county it’s in made us go out and chop it down after bagging each individual plant.

    Hello David, i watched this video start to finish, I loved, many things to learn about queen bee and replacement, just wonder what happened to the baby queen in that queen cup/cell? Do the working bees destroy it or the adult queen? I saw fingers touching the cell, don't you think that has no effect of the bees turn to abandoning it? Thanks 👍

    I find a yard full of clover and plantain and other flowering plants to be more beautiful than a well mowed lawn.

    You are such a magnificent resource! Am wondering since there has been so much rain, (possibly meaning to the bees, more potential for an increased abundance of upcoming nectar with your clover going gangbusters on and on), while they are in such small quarters, if they may be preparing or practicing to get a jump on swarming to be ready to go to larger living quarters.

    As you held her to mark her, I was thinking, “I wonder if he’s ever been stung by a queen?” I don’t care to mark queens like you did because the first time I attempted that she stung me twice. No thank you. I bought a queen marking tool and learned to use it.
