Thanks for the tip, ilovemy3ninas...will def keep that in mind this year. Weather's been terrible, should be clearin' up about now . 1st inspection coming any day now.
Are the frames being set on the ground? Each time a frame is removed and set on the ground that frame has the potential of having the queen on it and she could crawl off the frame onto the ground and walk away. Then the frame gets put back into the hive body without the queen. Beek's should only remove one frame, with no brood, for workable space and the others should be inspected and then put back into the hive.
That's cool, Strider. Lemme know about your bees and how it goes! Glad my initial viddys here have at least helped guide you a bit throught the process.
you have a great laying queen there,,lovely brood pattern..the coloured stuff you see in the cells is pollen to feed the young bees...great video..your camera lady done very well...thanks...hope you make some more videos..very gentle bees you have......billy
