I have had 15 V Queens from the last grafts I did I have put sum in mating hives and a few in nuc's. I have only had 2 mate.
I no we have had bad weather but could I be doing sum thing wrong ? I have grafted another 30 today. If any take has any one got any tips???
I came home to find a small black queen and a few works in side the house, I had left the back bedroom window open next to a bait hive on the Flat roof. There are still bee's flying in and out so I let her free, Fingers crossed she finds her way back to my hive:cool:
Every time I have grafted the bees are removing larve from the queen cups?
They are one day old very small C shape larve that im grafting.
Ive added the grafts to the split's after 9 days when all the brood has been capped but still no luck any help please?
I was going to over winter a few nuc's but as im moving house I need to make room I have two at the moment. 2011 Queen's unmarked and unclipped stores and bee's very happy, friendly, will needed feeding though winter
please pm
