[QUOTE="Breeder of queens Koss, post: 13302, member: 449"] Another method can be used in the summer when it is warm. 1 we find and remove the old queen from the hive. 2. We put a net between the boxes so that the bees cannot get into the top box. ( very important!) 3. From the bottom box we take a couple of frames of closed brood, which has already begun to emerge from the combs. And we transfer it to the top box. (no bees!!!!) 4. Add feed frames and also a little water. 5. Open the plastic cage and immediately release the queen onto the frame. (careful so that it doesn't fly away) 6. Close the hive. (it is important that there is no taphole or other cracks in the top box) 7. After 6 days, we break the queen cells in the destroyer and on the 7th day we remove the mesh that separates the boxes. What is the point of this method. 1.The acceptance rate of queens is very high. 2. You immediately release the queen, the bees that will be born in the top box will form her retinue and serve her. The brood will not freeze, because the heat from the nest will pass through the mesh and warm it. And the queen, while she is in the top box, can lay eggs. 3. The bees from the bottom box cannot kill this queen, but the colony will have the same smell. [ATTACH type="full"]1747[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
