Did My Stöfen Queen Cells Hatch? Nuc Yard Inspection & Apiary Maintenance

In this video I'm checking on my Stöfen queen cells to see if the new queens have hatched and mated successfully in the nuc yard. These queen cells came from Dr Peter Stöfen's lines, were introduced during my last video , and I'm happy to report the majority have mated well! (the batch of 4 we checked) After going through the nucs, I do some apiary maintenance, trimming the hedge with my EGO Power hedge cutter and mowing the grass with the Etesia Attila pedestrian mower to keep the bee yard tidy and accessible. But more importantly giving the bees space so that they can fly without vegetation being in the way. Back to the nuc yard: one is overflowing with bees and honey and needs more space, so I transfer it into a bigger hive. Another turns out to be a drone layer, so I shake that nuc out. 🐝 If you enjoy following along with queen rearing, nuc management, and general beekeeping/apiary upkeep, subscribe for more from Gwenyn Gruffydd!
