Have been working on my wife for months to try grafting. I just don't have the eyes for it. She's super helpful and has been out to the bee yards quite a few times. Helped mark queens so she has experience spotting them. Keep up this kind of video please. You make it look pretty easy. Am trying some single brood chamber colonies and gee it's easy compared to having four boxes of bees to go thru on each inspection. Them huge beast colonies make a whole lot more honey tho. You have to really love bees to dig into one though. They get angry and there are sooo many.

You said it best. "I'm good with a hammer'. Same here. I build all my equipment. Hey I just discovered something I'm sort of excited about. Got a pressure washer to blast the crud off some moth-eaten equipment I got gifted. (happens all the time). Them ugly cacooned up plastic foundations..bugs me to toss them so I figured I'd try blasting them with 2000 psi. It works. They come out looking like new and it cleans the frames too. Any more pressure and it'd eat up the wood on the frames. Whoever is blasting the frame/foundations gets a shower. It's like 90 here today so I'm going to be happy to go play in the water and clean a few dozen frames I've been putting off doing. Have fun today I will for sure.

Hey Ian, I know this is an old video, but where did you get that queen rearing calendar? I want one!

I appreciate the fact that you said I'm good with the hammer but not very good with a grafting tool. I don't pretend I am. Perfect to let other beekeepers know that they just can't do everything in bee yard. I dabble with grafting but don't get a high take rate. I know that a frame should only have the queen laying in it for a day to get one day old larva for grafting purposes. But, in the average beekeeper's life, it just isn't reasonable. I'm actually purchasing queens this week to freshen up the genetics in the apiaries. How are your thoughts on continually introducing genetics to the apiaries?

great video lan, how long do you usually keep the builders in full production mode? just wondering on the level of stress they will be under and if it has any affect on the cells after a prolonged time

Curious why you choose to add young bees each week rather than keeping capped brood frames in the builders to hatch out in the builder? Is it easier to manage this way?

Kind of the same question, but I see most larger queen rearing folks using queen right finishers after one day with a starter. Is this method for you just a way to reduce the number of trips into the boxes and overall workload? Nice acceptance for the first round!
