Is it also possible to harvest royal jelly from a hive like this one?

@Poffpoffpass they dont pick a queen,,when queen gets old,, or innjured and shee cant reproduce,the workers start feedinng new egs with a bee milk,they start to develope in to new queens,then when they are born,the strongest one takes over the colonie,and if the old queen is still alive,they kill it,

I’m a beekeeper, and yes, negro bees are the most unproductive AND violent bees on the planet.

How and when do workers pick a queen, when the old one dies? Do they select a female at random?

Trying to watch this video was very frustrating as the music was intrusive and it wasn’t obvious when or if a person was going to start speaking.
A good rule for making training videos is Tell the audience what they’re going to see, Show them the subject and Tell them what they just saw by way of summary. The wipes were awful and got in the way of seeing what the video was showing. Try freeze framing key visuals. Like the Queen Box. Good luck with future videos

Yeah, you can do it for as low as $150… That is about $100 for hive equipment and $50 to buy some bees.
That’s really all you need. There are a ton of extras though that can cost hundreds more. If you want honey, you need and extractor. If you want optimal hive performance and prevention of mites and Foul Brood and other diseases you will have to pay much more for that.
Don’t worry bout that stuff though. Just get started, you can catch on to the rest later.

Actually when bees sting other insects they dont lose their stingers and die, that only happens when they sting animals.

They need feeding in the start, as they have no honey yet. Later on you may choose between letting them keep more honey or substitute larger parts with sugar.

I love bees too watch out for wasps and hornets they seem to love wiping out bees if only a bee could sting without dying not fair i’ll always help a bee if its in trouble

What is the sugar water for? Is that just to get the bees started? I thought the bees ate their honey for food. My understanding was that some of the honey is left behind when the beekeeper removes the honey so the bees can eat.

I do this also
I am 18 years old
And frankly, I take lessons from
Because they are very active and Tdbn
I love bees
We have brought a single cell
Before age
We did not know nothing about it
But now we know a lot
And many other
