I didn't actually watch this video, but I have that bee crossing sign.  It's hanging on the fence next the path up to my hives.  Just needed to tell everyone that.  :cheesy:  :happy:
I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led.  And through the air, I am she that walks unseen.

This is an excellent video.  The top drone collection cage is new method taught to me.  Not sure I would wish to negotiate all the workers though.  I screen the front entrance and collect the drones returning from flights.

The fella did a good job of explaining the complexities of II.  Definitely not for the average beek, expensive II is.

Thank you Mr. BenFramed.

I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.

Your welcome Mr Van. Though I feel sure this will be interesting to most any beekeeper who watches. I had you in mind when I posted. Yes,  Richard is good at explaining his thoughts. His enthusiasm is contagious! :)   I?m glad you enjoyed it.
