It's queen breeding time. Here is my first attempt at grafting this spring. I'm using a 6frame mating nuc, packed with bees and brood and feeding it heavily.
I Grafted 20 cups and they finished 16 in total, which is a great first result for me. Today these cells go into my incubator and will be ready to go into ew Nuclues colonies on June 4th. A whole new bee colony will be created just a few weeks later if the virgin queen comes back mated.
After I pulled these cells I grafted 30 more and they went back into this replenished cell builder
This is my favourite time of year !

It's that's time again. Honey bee colonies are growing larger every day, when space runs out they start the swarming process to continue their genetics. When this happens the Queen and about half of all the workers leave the parent hive in search of a new home. Unfortunately that home may be in your tree or swingset or just about anywhere they think would be a great place to live.
If this happens, have no fear. Give us a call and we will come out, rescue them and give them a nice bee box to live in. Swarms are normally very gentle so do not be alarmed. Reach out and we will be happy to help in and around the Dorchester area

20 more Nucleus colonies made up Wednesday from the Gladstone Yard. These will get queen cells this weekend and if all goes well we will have a new laying queen in each in about 30 days.
