@teenprepper96 Check with your state or local beekeepers' association, all offer mentoring programs and some offer scholarships which provide most everything you need to get started. Welcome to the Bee Borg!

We get lots of comments about going suitless. Charlie Mraz would even go shirtless. I have done it, but recommend removing chest hair. I talk about the mindset in working a hive in Videopole's "Garden of Beeden, part 1. But I also adapt to the bees on the issue, they are most tolerant between mid morning and midafternoon, with calm to gentle winds, sunny, temps between 55 and 80F, and with a good nectar flow in progress. Busy hands are happy hands.

The Thing about the Sound is that the Music is right and Speaker on left.

Great Video. Lots of info and a good/funny narrator. Pretty brave for not wearing a suit!

feed all the larvaes with royal jelly than they will become queens. The 1st one that hatches will kill all the others.
I hope I have helped you. I did this with all my 100 hives and now i have 200 here in Brazil
Split question: I want to do a split but I can't get my mind around how this can be successful.
It takes between 3 and 4 weeks for the new hives to make a queen. Then it takes another 3 weeks before new worker bees hatch. If a bee lives only 6 weeks, the entire original population should be dead before the new bees hatch and that's if they were all newborns to begin with.
I guess a few hatch from the brood you include?
Is it true emergency queens are not as good?
