This is one of my favorite videos. I really like the part where you show what’s going on in front of the hive. You are a great instructor, easy to understand, you can hear the excitement in your voice when you’re telling what’s going on. That is so cool. Thank you I’m new to your channel, but I’m taking several days to go through the videos, they’re great

That was a flower anther and filament, probably from goldenrod. Bees bring in entire dead nettle petals in the spring and bird seeds in the fall (stuck to their legs).

Thnx for the nice information about matting but 😊 , we can't tell for sure, there must be exceptions. For example I noticed if a hive desides to replace their queen for some reason and they already have start the procedure of creating subtitution cells that means that they know that serious circumstances are met for their new queen to get matted even if we can't find half a drone in our hives or our hives are with only 1 frame of brood or less. And they know it before they start the whole thing otherwise they wouldn't replace her at the first place. I hope I relieved new beekeepers like myself. Please tell me if anyone had any similar experience.

I live in central Wisconsin. I’m not a beekeeper,but I find the hobby fascinating. We feed several dozen hummingbirds that stay in our yard all summer and begin to move south around mid September. At that time, usually the yellow jackets and hornets show up in force. This year we had several hundred honey bees show up last week(9/20-22) We took the hummer feeders apart and let the honey bees eat everything that was left. My question is, where did they come from? Would they show up naturally? Or must there be a hive someplace nearby? I’ve read they’ll fly 3-5 miles in search of food. Your videos are very interesting

In early summer one morning i dotted a white spot on all the drones in one hive. The hives were just foraging until around 1:00 pm all hives were having what I call a drone frenzy. They do this every day in swarm season around an hour or two each day. The white dotted drones were in all the hives. So I believe the drones go into strange hives around noon each day around the swarm season. I dont believe they go to congregation areas to wait for unmated queens. I do not believe an unmated queen would even make it very few feet out of the hive before a drone would mate her. It just doesnt make sense drones wait for queens. I think they fly out to go into new hives around noon looking for unmated queens while consuming unfinished honey, finally settling down once the unmated queens are all mated by afternoon. I see large yellow Italian drones fly in sometimes also. Ive got alot of hives and ive been doing bees for fifty years.

You say that if your hive doesn't have drones then your queen cannot get mated. What about other hives that are queen-less that have gone laying workers? They are only producing drones. Do they also kick out all of the drones?
