bees ve plasticity and can push forward or pull back them life when required (but with cost on the colony), so jep ofc all bees can fly no doubt , my belief is not based on that they can not but based on that bees ll act with less cost and in more economy way for them and so the right age bees...

my belief is that , its the mid-age bees that swarm with Q , those bees are the most comprehensive workers that can nurse-draw combs and forage while in parent colony remains the brood with the nurses and foragers you cant mimic the swarm exactly cause you cant select those mid-age bees and...

you did the safe method jep you can postpone the hopelesslly Q less part since you introduce a Q from your stock and a non stopped laying one as long as you can see in those 10 days of laying in mating nucs that the capped brood is workers and also is a good lay one ,np with her age

amazing book

hi , may i ask if you have noticed any relationship between those emergency cells and supercedure cells after ? i kinda mean the more emergency they draw the less the chance supercedure cells apear after......

if you real like see things growing then with bees to watch them growing in all them stages and study them behavior and them life cyrcle guess you need a hive that you can inspect i do no think skep give you this chance ,jep its more romantic but exclude you from many phases of bees life

jep thats what am saying , is little time for bees to accept a stopped layin and more a post Q with different retinue pheromones , them more in a shock or and maybe ve just pass into emergency situtation without the know yet that them do no have the right brood to do as ussually? but definetely...

she has wonderfull name also

keepin brood above qx for 8 days give you clear sealed brood but bees do no pass into any queenless situation either emergency either hopelessly just maybe into supercedure conditions if they draw any queen cell? maybe double screen board than qx ?

do you create emergency nucs (larvae brood) or hopelessly nucs(emerging brood only) ? actually newly emerging bees accept the Q , nurses have already been exposed to old Q and her brood pheromones and if ve the chance(larvae brood) priority is make their own so you ve to wait brood sealed and...

air and humidity as internal conditions , so un open jar better consume soon after opend day, for sealed think no need a date high temps and light as external circumstances, best is dark colored jar (but less commercial and more expensive) and unheated-raw honey but needs educated peepl that...

which method did you follow?what was the state of the colonies? if is for stock improvemnt may should invest in nucs for introductions but that means more bought queens for divide those dispatch colonies, so may also in a small queen breeding program(easier accpetance than post queens)?

one thing is the acceptance and the other thing is the survivorship after introduction less the bees will accept more chances of acceptance , bees pass into emergency Qless situation in first 24-36h so introduction need to be immediately and also bees ussually accept/reject un introduced Q in...

if your area is heading in to drought period(as beaumont wrote about UK) then you have to look your current larvae brood and if float in jelly( good nutrition) then syrup may in favor, but Queens - bees and brood food is jelly so to keep Q going need to be on pollen flow or feed pollen patties...

e? sry me , but i dont understand anyway guess i dont need to also....... so jep, experiment is good more if targetted and timely gl with that

dont tremember the name but there is a bee that build entrances like this but she speed up when is to land unlikely our honey bees who in return flights slow down to land and may this ll slow down them further creating entrance overcrowding making it easier for wasps catch

a reason may do traps inside apiary is to attract mothers ,but earlier or late in season? and when wasps nest populations grow may better move traps far from apiary ? more , no close to entrances as to no keep bee guards on alarm all time?

hi , will try to explain what was meant as much better as can , excuse me if something is missunderstood and feel free reply anything , dont need to agree:) jep by secreting queen mandibular pheromone continually announces her presence, behavior, location, state of fertility and hunger so as...

guess thats called supercedure no swarm

sry me if i answer instead thats different situation than divide-making nuc-combine after i d not consider combine large def Q- colony with a very small but may would ways if they are related ,either kinships(more) either closed vicinity and so either em have some ''common''pheros or and them...
