Queen Honey Bee Laying Eggs Being Fed and Groomed Narrated Facts and Information

This is the Queen that won the colony out of several queen cells which all were ready to hatch.
She's finally laying and showing her amazing capabilities.
We don't know her complete genetic line as I pulled brood frames from a larger hive - after installing the brood frames in the 8-frame observation hive, they swarmed, then returned.
The split was completed on May 30th
The queen cells hatched circa June 6th
This video was filmed on July 6th and 7th
Eggs began to show up in the brood cells June 17th (outside frame surfaces)
The capped brood from the earliest eggs from this queen should be hatching tomorrow, July 8th just in time for a great nectar flow from clover and other wild flowers.
This Queen mated with drones from unknown area bees that hopefully survived winter as feral colonies, though they may also be drones from neighboring apiaries.
Over the next several weeks, as the split-stock expires and are replaced by this Queen's worker brood, we'll know more about their habits, disposition, as well as their potential hygienic behavior.
Thank you for watching and please subscribe for more videos like this.

In my apiary this year, we have BeeWeaver and Saskatraz stock. Many colonies already superceded their Queens or created swarm cells as happened when I performed this split.

I now have no Queens that are over a year old.

I will be observing closely as we see their ability to prepare for and survive a northern winter.

Current pollen and nectar sources are:

Milkweed, Little Leaf Linden trees, white clover, and various wild flowers...

Coming up, over a thousand sunflowers, continuing white clover, raspberries, more milkweed varieties, Maximilian Sunflowers and more.
