Making Mini Nucs

thanks...🌹🌹🌹🌹🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

To everyone else, don't do this without at least a veil

How do the bees keep from drowning ?

Very good information

Clipping a wing of a bee? Like clipping a wing of a rooster or the ear of a cat?

Nice video and well explained, not sure that I would shake brood like they. With filling nukes could can be more gentle. Looks really rough. How much syrup you but on. Will You add syrup if there is no nectar flow.what is syrup recopy?

Thank you for this educational video👍. I ‘ve got one question; Do they accept the new queen cell after two weeks even if they have eggs and maybe larva in the little hives? Greetings, a beginning beekeeper from the Netherlands

Your school is amazing

What mix of syrup do you use on the mini nucs . ?? Thanks

hi, mini mating box, if at the beginning of the maker there is no male bee, how can the queen mate?

Great video! Very informative

im not a bee keeper, i have no clue why im sitting here watching this ...

Made 200 of these moved them to a different location, next day gave them q cells. I checked the third day and noticed that 80 percent of the bees left my nucs. Now I don't know what went wrong, or these types of nucs are too small to work.

I'm stuck at the pheromone strip part. I have lemon grass oil but no pheromone strip. Can I use that as a substitute by pouring it on a piece of comb?

Do they get enough resources this way- like pollen and nectar?

is there drowning with that feeder reservoir? I was given one of these, with a plastic reservoir that doesn't have a lid.

Excellent content. Please consider using a high quality wireless microphone to improve audio quality.

This is probably a redundant question, where do I find pheromone strips? Your FAQ link isn’t valid FYI. Thank you.

Tough finding somewhere cool when 90f outside, to leave them for couple days closed up? Any suggestions?

wow those 🐝🐝🐝 are really gentle

I love this tutorial and my question is where I can buy th e pheromone strips please?? Or any way to prepare myself?? Thank you

when the beekeepers become the bees

Looking at the schedule for queen raising it appears you put the queen cell in the mini nus when it is 10 days old. Assuming the queen hatches on day 14 is this the time the bees need to accept the cell?

Good experience showing.

I'm interested in beekeeping i am from Jamaica

Paul, could you tell us what kind of strips you use? What brand?

he didnt told you most imortant ting here queen cell needs to be 14 15 days old otherwise bee will destroy qeen cell

Thx for this presentation and best regards from Slovenia - country of excelent beekeepers and excelent Carnica bee

I wonder how many drones are there in the nucs? 1st round of mating maybe, 2nd round mating onwards there will be enough drones for the queen?

why do you melt the frames out at the end of the season?

Good work,well done, I amazing your work.🌨️🌨️🌨️🌨️🌈🌈🌈🌈👂👂👂👂👂👂👀👀👀👀🐝🐝🐝🐝🌻🌻🌻🌻💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

Wonderfully information, and useful to attract me.contragulation.💐💐💐💐💐💐🌻🌻🌻🌻🐝🐝🐝🐝👀👀👀👀👀👂👂👂👂👂

Thanks for sharing sir😊

Hello, good day. Your video is amazing, how do you explain the process in detail, but I have a question, do the bees not drown in the feeder or does it have a type of flotation?

Do the queen need to mate outside the box or it can mate inside the box??

Iv read a couple books saying not to clip wings because it can cause supercedure..or queen fatality because she can't fly. Have you noticed any of this?

We use this a lot in Germany, bit we use sugar foundant so that WE can fill the boxes in forehand.
We use also the inner cover so that no bees come Out of the Box when you insert the Queen cell.

You not feed the nuc on subsequent queen cells? Does this handful of bees have the numbers to be self sufficient with such small frames for storage?

Amazing tutorial thank you

Hello, greetings from Greece, thank you for introducing us to the wonderful world of queens, I am a new beekeeper and I want to work with queens, do you have any specific queen rearing program so I can learn step by step? where can I send you my questions,

If you respond can you tell me how your keeping lids from getting glued and waxed down?

I wish I could come to Guelph and take your courses

Where do you buy the pheromone strip?

Where did you buy your mini nucs from I’ve been looking everywhere and trying to find the best price so far Amazon but a lot of them don’t have many reviews

Hi, can you please explain how to make a queen pheromone tube and how I can keep the sugar syrup fresh when working with mini nucs in 90 degree weather? Thanks

7 years on, and this video remains fully relevant to setting up and operating mini mating nucs. The titbits of information one can gleen from the operation here is instructive. The use of TempQueen and Queen Mandibular Pheromone remains eye-opening and not seen in many other mini nuc videos. The 14 day cycles, great guidance, thank you for the well presented video, and sharing such useful knowledge. 👍👍👍

If I did that to my bees, they would sting my arms and legs 100 times

Another excellent video thank you. I have a question though and that's what do you do with the bees , eggs and brood at the end of the queen mating season?
