I always thought 1 day old eggs became 2 days then three then first day larva. Obviously not so I give up.

It’s on the InstantVap site. They have a Facebook group too

Of course it matters. This forum isn’t a simple encyclopaedia 😂

I think we are splitting hairs. The publication is badly phrased. The bees cannot make any sort of bee, worker or queen, from a one or two or even three day old egg because they can't feed an egg but they can from a newly hatched egg...a first day larva. Or is the author saying they start...

Grrrrrrrr Why do they keep upgrading this stuff!!!!!!

Yes. Another super on top of everybody while we are away till Monday.

Not here. The colonies are strong but not fit to bursting in dandelion. Missed that completely.

Woop woop! Bees have found the Hawthorn. On a brighter note Curly has had an avenue of Limes spring up near one of his apiaries.

I think he means on the periphery of the brood nest but honestly none of the OP’s posts make much sense.

It’s common. I see it quite often.

It will work with one super especially if you use one of JBMs Demaree boards.

Egg in queen cup, look in again three days later. Queen cup with royal jelly is a queen cell.

Do bees try to make queens from 4 day old larvae which have been starved of royal jelly for a day? So for six days if you include 1/2/3 day old eggs

That’s very neat. I’d live to see the video if you do get to find it. Perhaps the bees are checking out how old the eggs are?

Lots on the internet about this. Just Google royal patrilines in bees This is The Apiarist’s article on it https://theapiarist.org/whos-the-daddy/ More here https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0199124

Perhaps the bees cannot tell between an egg hatched two hours ago and two minutes ago so stand and watch, loaded with full hypo pharyngeal glands, over eggs ?

Could you post here and share it with all of us then I could add it to the Stickies

Of course they do. They are bees.
