I have a question about time, 15 minutes, thats quite much i think,
is it enough for older bees also to "forget" their home. What i mean is that without co2 older bees will fly back home if it is nearby, will treating them such a long time make them forget about their home and queen, and make them accept their new mating-nuc and a virgin instantly, or will there still be natural drift home.
And do You need to keep bees in a "cellar" overnight or can You use them instantly after "collecting"?

@rimsa80 There are a couple of reasons. First to make sure there is one good queen per nuc. Second, the first hatching queen will usually kill the other, and therefore, sooner hatching queens are selected for in a kind of forced natural selection like there would be in a natural hive. It's more expensive, but produces better queens in the long run.

My guess is that he expects to lose a few and wants to make sure that each nuc has a mated queen in it.
Each stage in the queen rearing process is not 100%. queens are lost at each stage so he probably over-produces in order to get enough mated queens at the end of the process.

Yes. The queen may fly from the nuc to mate or she may be instrumentally inseminated. Either way, the purpose of the mating hive is just to support the queen until she is producing worker brood. After that, she will probably be sold. The bees are unimportant.
Special drone producing colonies will be sited near the mating apiary.

i thought queens and drones had to be flying to mate? mating nucs? do they mate inside or flying...than what ?

why is he putting 2 queencells in one hive?
rimsa80 2 years ago
The queen cells are kept seperate and are added at the end. (The packing guy has them in a small white bucket.)

No problem :-)
This is a mating nuc. A package would usually contain about 3lbs of workers and the queen would usually be caged for transport.

Thank you for a courteous reply, I wasn't sure if these were being put together as mating nucs, packages bees for sale, or ?
