Nice video w/o the bloviating of the typical youtube producer. Oh, and watchable at 1.5x
What are the tricks to spotting a queen, particularly when there are large numbers of bees to sort through? I question whether or not I'll ever be able to master that.It 'is' a nice video Terri. Put together by what seems to be a very nice person. Its obvious she has been doing this a long time. Have you seen the video posted by animal of her old pickup truck honey display? The thoughts put into that one, incorporated with marketing strategy, are brilliantly outstanding..... !!!!!
Terri, I was wanting to know 'the tricks' to finding the queen, just as you, when I first began. As you know she will usually be found in the brood chamber on the inner 8 frames.
(Not always, but most times). What I do is when viewing a frame in search of her, is scan the outer edges of the frame and swiftly work my way around and around working my way toward the middle, until I get to the middle. Usually if she is on the frame, you will see her if she is not under her offspring. It takes practice, but the first time you locate her, you will be well pleased!
