A little queen cell autopsy. Have you found a queen cell that looks like this? They are very common this time of the year and you can tell what is happening in the hive just by looking at it. . Because the hole is on the side of this cell, it means another queen in the hive killed the queen that was in this cell before she even hatched out. . If the hole was on the very bottom of this cell and not on the side, it means the queen that was in the cell hatched out succesfully. . When multiple queens are growing, it's like hunger games in the hive. First one out of her cell tries to kill the other ones before they have a chance to defend themselves. . . . #beekeeping #bees #beekeeper #honeybee #savethebees #albeeks #instagrambham #alabama #nature #honey #rawhoney #buylocal #wildlife #insectsofinstagram #bee #queen #queencell #beefacts #beginnerbeekeeping #instagram #instagramoftheday #homesteading #hungergames
Setup a new host a hive site at a beautiful garden home @fathernaturelandscapes. It's a fantastic garden with all kinds of blooming bushes, plants and trees for bees. They will be happy there. Look at out stories for the setup process. . . . .#beekeeping #bees #beekeeper #honeybee #savethebees #albeeks #instagrambham #alabama #nature #honey #rawhoney #buylocal #wildlife #insectsofinstagram #bee #garden #fathernaturelandscapes #alabamanewscenter #fallgarden #bolting #hostahive #organic #teach
Varroa mites are nearly impossible to see on a full frame of bees during an inspection. This one was crusing after I removed a frame full of drone brood. The queen just laid a lot of drone eggs in a single frame, so I made the most of the situation and froze the frame.Don't confuse varroa with small hive beetles which is another bee pest. Looking for mites isn't a good way to check how healthy your bees are, there are much better ways. They are just too difficult to see. Music is a coincidence, but perfect.
Lets just say the luck of the Irish wasnt with this queen. Even though she wore green today... She just had a death wish and the whole story is in our stories. Go check it out. . . . . . #bees #beekeeping #beekeeper #bee #wildlife #instagram #instagrambham #albeeks #alabama #sec #homewood #swarm #irish
