Hey! I followed you for rabbits didn’t know you do bees too. I was looking up walk away splits and there you are. Thanks for the demonstration!

Thanks for watching The Rabbitry Center and welcome to our beekeeping channel Bobby's Beez. More information on our website bobbysbeez.com

Thumbs up for keeping your presentation succinct. You give plenty of information without overloading the viewer. Too many videos tend to give too much information, or they ramble on and on and on. Either way, they lose the viewer to boredom or confusion. Thumbs up and subscribed

Good video. I am for this method couse I cannot find the queen, I have hard time, my eyesight isn’t that great, for a senior citizen. So I stick with this method. Get more videos bro thanks again.

My thoughts on the walkaway split is that (provided you have fresh eggs) the bees know which eggs will be best to make a queen with. When we select eggs to make Queen's with, we're just grabbing what looks good; but we don't know (for certain) that there is nothing wrong with the eggs we select. We may be selecting eggs that are not the best choice. Or to put it another way... the bees know what they are doing... so let them.

Those look like supercedure cells because they are in the middle of the frame.

You’re correct. They are supersedure cells, which are found in the middle of the frames which are often not used unless they’re needed, but when you do a walk away split, you will find that they will often make one or two supersedure cells next to the original, as well as several at the bottom of the frame too. They’re simply picking all the good eggs and making as many queen cells as they possibly can, which is beneficial because now we can make lots of splits.

I would definitely like to see the bee keeping gadgets video! Your videos are really inspiring... thinking about expanding into starting an apiary!

What happened to the queen, in which hive did it stay

@bobbysbeez

This video is a couple years old. It’s hard to say, but I assume the queen thrived in one box and the workers used a fresh egg and made a new queen in the second box. We have more splitting videos if you’re interested kzread.info/head/PLShE0-vHXKQFNWq_0DBL0A2j3teCJpohm&feature=shared

May Spring - early summer June this gives them time to build up

That was no a swarm cell that was an emergency cell.

Your right! Not swarming. These are walk away splits that needed a queen
