Raising Queen 🐝 Bees

It's time for us to raise a few Queen Honeybees here on the farm. This is about as early as you can raise Queens here in southern Ohio. These new Queens will go on mating flights in early May. We explain how and why we do what we are doing. Making a small hive "hopelessly Queen-less" triggers the emergency instinct in honeybees. We add a few grafts and the bees do the rest. It's all about having healthy bees, good nutrition and timing. Follow along as we will have additional videos to go along with this one.
