Thread: Queen rearing vidio from Kingston Beekeepers

    Default Queen rearing vidio from Kingston Beekeepers

    Can I recommend this queen rearing video from Kingston beekeepers. It gives an idea of how to rear queens using Vince Cook’s rearing method.

    I have no connection to it at all but think it’s worth a shufty.

    He should put roller cages over his grafted cells 48 hours before emergence to avoid the possibility of a virgin emerging early and destroying the other cells. It is 2 weeks work down the tubes if one escapes and destroys the other cells.

    I like his double cover cloth system. I use a couple of tea towels in similar fashion.

    Top marks for being the first on SBAi to use the word 'shufty'. Possibly on any bee forum.

    They use the word 'duke' in similar fashion in NI as in take a duke at yon video or take a duke at yer man, he's palatic drunk!

    No kidding, I know people who talk like that. Some of them are relatives!

    Sounds like rhyming slang. But I can't work out which Duke. Unless it is to do with admiring potatoes (Duke of York of course), something folk reputedly do a lot in Norn Iron.

    Got it in one but it's not so weird. Like the Eskimos are supposed to have many words for snow, so there is wide and varied vocabulary for drunkenness on the island of Ireland.

    LOL! But that's one thing we Scots could beat you at I'm sure - words indicating inebriation. And varieties of potato of course.

    A bold claim.
    He had so much drink taken he was completely stocious, rat-arsed in fact, langered and hammered at the same time.
