I just did this almost two weeks ago. I’m going to wait a few more days before I go back in to see if I have a new queen. Hopefully they’re good to go! I’d love a follow up video on what to look for during the next inspection and all of that!

Decrease the size of the hive. Yes, the viral loads on that hive maybe so high that it is just doomed. Adding healthy capped brood may help, but it also needs a smaller hive for the size of the colony. My management consideration #1 is hive size to colony size. Or maybe put it in a double nuc instead of a 10 frame single. You will see small colonies bounce back quicker when put into smaller hives. Just a thought.

@@BackBeeBrokenBeekeeping Yes. A frame of capped brood is 2-3 frames of bee coverage when emerged. Bees prefer to be wall to wall in a box for many reasons. I am not sure the value of any of the sick bees or brood from the original hive. A split is usually 2 frames of brood, 2 frames of food and a blank into a deep nuc box.

Hey david been watching your videos for a while now. Taught me a lot of tricks to look for in these kind of situations. I actually had a problem with one of my hive splits this spring they went queenless for too long and i had laying workers develop. I thankfully got to them in time. I shook all of the bees out of the hive about 100yrds away reduced them to a single deep and added 2 frames of capped brood and one with just eggs. Just checked on them monday and found a virgin queen running around. Wonder if you have any videos about those situations. Thanks for the vids and best of wishes.
@beek
Ай бұрын
One note, your method of getting rid of a laying worker is actually passed down and is incorrect. Studies have show that laying workers are foragers, and if you shake them out 100 yards away they just fly back to the hive.
