👑🐝 Time to Raise New Queens! 🐝👑
Did you know that while a queen bee can live up to five years, she’s best replaced every year for stronger hives and better honey production? A young, healthy queen lays way more worker eggs than an aging one, which keeps the colony thriving!
As beekeepers, we can help our bees raise a fresh new queen by gently guiding the process. Here’s how:
✨ We take two frames of fertilized eggs, larvae, and worker bees from a strong, productive hive.
✨ We place them in a nuc box, where the bees raise a brand-new queen.
✨ Once she hatches and successfully mates, we return the group to their original hive—giving them a powerful, young leader!
