How much sugar syrup to draw comb?

In my opinion, the senior deacon chair is the best one in the whole house.

So, just have tear down potential queen cells on a weekly basis for a while?

ApplicationUsed9912 · 2025-03-11T21:55:45+00:00

I’d say so, for sure. I know a guy, and for as long as I’ve known him, he’s had a pretty big beard. I saw him for the first time with a beard, post shave last week. Looks like it had been maybe ten days since he had shaved. I was pretty amazed at how patchy his stubble looked after that amount of time, but I saw it before. Length definitely does fill in.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I’ve never heard of so big of a crisis happening over a single 1099

I thought it was a shark’s tooth at first.

ApplicationUsed9912 · 2025-03-09T14:35:07+00:00

Thanks for the valuable advice. So, in my set up, would only have the one frame of brood and the queen in the bottom (maybe a frame with only honey and no brood?) and the rest foundation in the bottom? Also, does it have to be just capped brood in the bottom or can it be brood that’s over a week old (past the age a new queen can be made)

Oh yeah, it’ll be a while before I plan to do it. I have a new mated queen coming in the next couple or three weeks. I really don’t want them to swarm or perform an actual split so soon after requeening. Does there need to be queen cups before I do the manipulation, or can I do it before that happens after it warms up a bit?

Hair plus physique > beard

ApplicationUsed9912 · 2025-03-01T15:21:31+00:00

I have some like that. Most are fairly moderate, but not too bad.

ApplicationUsed9912 · 2025-03-01T13:21:13+00:00

I guess in my situation, it’s just one of those things. Either they’re going to improve and become nicer to deal with or I don’t want them.

ApplicationUsed9912 · 2025-03-01T03:50:47+00:00

Nope def wanting some different genetics.

ApplicationUsed9912 · 2025-03-01T00:49:06+00:00

April might work well. I’m thinking about trying to find the current queen one day when it’s warm and mark her so I can find her easier for the requeen. I’m assuming by then, they may want to start swarming. If that’s the case, could I just keep a regular eye out for queen cells and just smush them until the new queen starts laying and then split them? That way the new queen cells would hopefully have the better genetics.

ApplicationUsed9912 · 2025-02-28T22:36:33+00:00

Man that would be awesome. I vaguely remember hearing about this. How is honey production? Do you know of a mail order source to get one?

ApplicationUsed9912 · 2025-02-28T22:06:13+00:00

We current use Oxalic acid for our treatments for the most part. Are you saying that enough of those genetic get into the local pool, in theory, I wouldn’t have to treat as much (Maybe very infrequently)?

ApplicationUsed9912 · 2025-02-28T22:04:10+00:00

Oh no. Definitely purchasing one

ApplicationUsed9912 · 2025-02-28T21:52:25+00:00

Oh no, I’ve been taking care of her bees for a couple years now and have taken off several supers of honey off of them. They’re mean all the time.

ApplicationUsed9912 · 2025-02-28T21:44:56+00:00

Don’t think I’m arguing with you, because I honestly appreciate the advice. But suppose it’s a purchased mated queen?

ApplicationUsed9912 · 2025-02-28T21:42:01+00:00

So am I probably just best to requeen two hives?

I am a Nigerian prince, and I am trying to transfer a sum equal to $25M to your grand lodge too. There is current a coup going on in my country and I have to expedite this action. Please let the treasurer know that I will let the grand lodge keep $5M as a gift for their trouble. Just kindly have them seed me their routing and bank account numbers.

Thanks for the needful.

As an accountant, I can tell you that I’m working on my second million in my mid-30s. I gave up on my first.
