now do you want to do the might rolls or even suppose it's optional nowadays it's
do last year I was the only instructor I'm hired individual they had my
supervisor and my boss were out doing it so that gave me a 1/3 to the state yeah
so I won't take full credit - he's still judging chickens
good bird right there
don't say except for that's not good well it always curious as to why
something is doing what it's doing if you look down in here okay this one's
not too hard to pick out we're like they're taking out the pupil stage of
something air for whatever is great yeah these are those hygienic okay so they
have a tendency to kind of get rid of anything that's abnormal what generation
are these like first a second they came out of Texas
Weaver bees last year okay and they're raising queens on you yeah one's got
royal jelly in it the other one well let's see that up close yeah so that's
okay cuz you know what I actually need a swarm there's a unfortunately this is
the part I don't like I just broke the Queen self mmm okay
they're rearing another one so
unfortunately
near gadget pupil stage now so there's a ton of royal jelly still in there it was
a head and consume get let's get a close look at the royal jelly have you ever
tried it I know people do I'm just not one of them it won't hurt you have tried
it it just kind of bitter the wings are yeah starts you gonna try it no oh come
on Japanese eat it all the time if you know the Queen in there anywhere yeah I
love I could Alice up on her I don't expect to find her on many of these
frames because they're already laid up they swarm three times last year and I
got a split off of them but they weren't strong it up and it was late in the year
yeah so but they did give me a great video he was on the run back to that one
tore apart shake these up instead I recommend clean and start here she could
have melted somebody with that one
check for mom one more time
here
and replace much just flew out oh ah
good
nothing on that person
the second
this could get worn and starting to look pretty clean
they blew away my record for the highest mic count last year but we did Karen did
my boss now they found one that went over 300 last
you're kidding I was disgusted is it now I bet to go
and find one now you know I don't treat this hive with anything they're doing
exceptionally well I mean normally if you're going to find a way to apply in
the first couple shades
I'm gonna say we're pretty much wasting her time one last one
yeah we're gonna call that one zero
I realize what this job entails sometimes
I mean look at the workout I get here freak yeah
view
there I don't mind them be in there I just don't want it how do they might do
you think ah no they eat your bees they the bees once in a while they'll grab
one and say hmm dinner good this one's for string Fulani yes the choice is the
one I actually last time I inspected I spilled a bunch of honey off of it this
year already I guess they're just happy workers
we know mom's in here somewhere we've got eggs
another
yeah what happens is your original queen will slim down and take off the part of
the colony and then the first time first wing to hat
three wrong check
let me down it put you I knew it wasn't right they put you on the left-hand side
of the street there and I was like pop
you don't use GPS not yet that's the easy road I don't want somebody yelling
at me turn nice now
watch I've done bees that are inside buildings with entrances arranged facing
outward most of the time it's just a slot in the bottom of the building for
the bottom board to stick out right some people will actually go to the trouble
of cutting out two fists partial from the whole faith yeah the whole face is
in there okay that is educational for myself with that stabbed myself in the
finger got a drone on your cup there yes
we can have fun with those and hand them off to people I know and I was doing a
swarm collection and Erie and this little kid came running over
it had like never seen him before and as like want to hold a bee and she was just
like totally open so that's a queen what do you what's the item for them as far
as it's a grub or what do you oh this is I would believe a drone that is just at
the larval stage okay and then the queen cell is that one makes me curious a
captain Taylor one hatch Wayne already came out maybe because the cappings
still dangling there is this not a clean cell sphere that is one also so you may
have a little virgin queen running around inside here I the reason I did
that run around do the run around for a few days before they swarm or what do
they do technically what should happen is a
swarm that was going to emit you've already happened and then how the bad
weather would have kind of held them off wouldn't it
it may have but once again when I quote some of these people I know that these
bees and they're going to do what being want to do and you know
and the Queen's tend to want to run in the upper area the hive
she could very well be in the upper box
this one was already killed by another hatched okay this one looks like it's
now when they kill a queen will the workers just clean that out and yep I'll
just chuck it away this was for nothing now does that mean this one was oh is
that just royal honey or royal jelly yeah and I'm trying to I can this one's
chewing out right here this one's got a cap I don't know if you've got a viable
Queen in there or not it looks kind of empty if you look at edge of it there's
the queen cell with nothing in it
hmm
many times when I pulled into somebody's place and watch them swarm from out of
box just have to leave it it's hard to do the ones the workers that are working
on like here fast and furious Sebring
it was no it was about the best friend best foundation to put on a table sorry
pay people to watch Roosevelt to get a big ol pot of hot wax and dip over those
little six-inch weenie rollers yeah and roll those frames yeah I went down there
near Dave lost these okay it was really excited yeah
uh-huh you found one where is that right there
I see got'em yeah right but I don't know about that claim
this is what my wife wants me to do go down to eat dream mediums like that and
they run them five or six right up the middle because they're just constantly
working back into their own body heat instead of going sideways they go they
want to trend upward so we're thinking that with a ten frame box you're
actually just kind of wasting your time and thereby getting them to expand clear
out here when they only use the center section to begin pretty well so you can
cut you can cut down on weight cut down on money involved
to an extent because then if you're not going this way then you're going this
way right but in this way you're going more with their natural progression for
wintering to be head up into the stuff okay I was one of the aspects of what
was the incentive to go to 10 frames in the beginning okay why did they even
blanks trough came up with the idea it was his baby back in the 1800's yep so
let's face it back then beekeeping they did use the whole thing
I can't I can't begin to explain to you where the decline is started other than
possibly with the mites and things have gone haywire from there but this is all
supposition I have note but it seems like ever since
your bees are getting dumber I see more and more bees that won't
raise a queen or pack the hives out with paul and completely instead of honey
dumb things like - I mean I've literally found an entire boxes jams
the whole thing's had no room for there's no brood you know Roe chronic
yeah didn't they they're just dumb that way and I think it's too many selective
trait breeding issues we could just let them go back to what they were let them
you know level back out again quit selecting
you
