This document describes Mel Disselkoen's On The Spot (OTS) queen rearing system for beekeepers. The system allows beekeepers to make their own nucleus colonies (nucs) without purchasing mated queens, potentially quadrupling the number of colonies. It provides a simple, procrastination-proof plan for queen rearing that takes the stress out of management. The system also eliminates swarming and provides flexibility for beginners and experienced beekeepers alike.
A Ton of Honey by Grant Gillard, formerly of Jackson, MO, now living in Holden, MO. This talk was given at Monroeville, PA, for the Western PA Beekeepers Association on February 16, 2019. He can be reached at grantfcgillard@gmail.com
This document provides guidance for beekeepers on managing overwintered bee colonies in late winter and early spring. It discusses four key targets for fall preparation: a strong population, young queen, ample stores, and healthy colony. Weak colonies should be combined or given resources from strong colonies. The document also outlines three scenarios beekeepers may face coming out of winter: all hives dying, some dying, or all surviving. It provides options for each, such as replacing hives, splitting survivors, and preventing or controlling swarming to expand operations. The goal is to have flexibility and resources to recover from losses and take advantage of successes.

#6 Expansion Options for more apiaries and bee yards. Taught by Grant Gillard at the Great Plains Growers Conference in St. Joseph, Missouri on 2020-01-09
This document provides advice from a beekeeper in Missouri on winter preparations for honeybee hives. It discusses evaluating hive strength in mid-September and combining weak hives. Mite management through treatments like ApiVar in August and formic acid in September is recommended. Ensuring hives have ample honey stores through feeding is also advised. The beekeeper details their process for insulating hives in late fall that involves wrapping hives with insulation boards to help prevent condensation inside the hive over winter. Their observations found insulated lighter hives unexpectedly survived winter better than some stronger uninsulated hives.

This document discusses the opportunities and challenges of expanding a beekeeping operation from a hobby to a commercial business. It outlines typical stages a beekeeper goes through, from beginner to commercial operator. Key aspects of expansion include improving efficiency, understanding economics and honey bee biology, and determining the priority or purpose. The document also addresses acquiring equipment and bees, record keeping, apiary management, harvesting, extracting, marketing, and business structure considerations for expanded operations.
Honey bees live in colonies and follow seasonal rhythms. They overwinter in a cluster and begin foraging in spring. The colony divides via swarming in early summer to reproduce. Beekeepers must understand bee biology and seasonality to properly manage hives. Key factors include the castes (queen, workers, drones), parasites like varroa mites, and diseases that can be mitigated by strong colonies and integrated pest management.
To keep bees alive, beekeepers should:
1) Always remain a student by continuing to learn about beekeeping through reading, taking classes, and learning from others.
2) Understand honey bee biology like seasonality and colony behavior.
3) Network by joining beekeeping clubs and mentoring with other beekeepers.
Prioritize strong, healthy hives by raising your own queens, practicing integrated pest management for mites, and focusing time and resources on hives that can survive. Keep thorough records to track colony health over time.
Grant Gillard shares seasonal management tips for beekeeping at the Eastern Missouri Beekeepers Association, EMBA, in St. Louis at the Monsanto center for education. Topics include pesticide exposure, swarm management, neighbor relationships, spring feeding and other topics of interest to beginning and experienced beekeepers.

Overall it provides advice on efficiently managing growth while working smarter through planning and prioritizing goals.
Over Wintering Nucs by Grant Gillard, of Jackson, MO, at the Will County Beekeepers meeting at the Weitendorf Agricultural Education Center in Joliet, IL on February 18, 2017
Getting Started in Beekeeping, presented at the Missouri Livestock Symposium on December 3, 2016 by Grant Gillard, a beekeeper from Jackson, Missouri and Past President of the Missouri State Beekeeping Association. www.grantgillard.weebly.com
The document describes Mel Disselkoen's "On-The-Spot" (OTS) queen rearing system for beekeeping. It is a three part process: 1) remove the existing queen and notch frames to encourage queen cells, 2) return a week later to squish excess queen cells and divide frames into nucs, 3) return after four weeks to ensure mated queens. The system streamlines workflow, simplifies management, prevents swarming, allows treatment-free varroa management, and enables large expansion potential without needing to purchase queens.
The document provides information on concepts and methods for rearing queen bees. It discusses why beekeepers may want to rear their own queens, including cost, time, availability, disease resistance, and local acclimation. Several common queen rearing methods are described, such as the Doolittle, Hopkins, and Jenter methods. Key steps in the queen rearing process like setting up cell starters and mating nucs are outlined. Proper timing is emphasized as critical to the success of queen rearing.

You have opened a hive and found queen cells. First of all, don’t panic and, whatever you do, on NO account adopt the Dalek strategy of ‘exterminate them, exterminate them’! It did not work for the Daleks - they lost out to Dr Who every time - and it will not work for you. Destroying queen cells to prevent swarming never has been and never will be a successful method of swarm control. If you destroy one lot of queen cells the bees will immediately make some more and will probably swarm earlier than normal in their development - often before the first cells are sealed. If you destroy queen cells twice you run the risk of the colony swarming and leaving behind no provision for a new queen.
Queen-Rearing-Presentation is very important tJulieDash5
Queen rearing requires specific resources and conditions including nectar, pollen, drones, suitable weather, and strong starter and cell builder colonies. The process involves establishing starter and cell builder colonies, grafting larvae, and transferring cells to mating nucs. Patience is needed as the process takes 4-6 weeks and includes waiting periods to allow cells and queens to develop without disturbance.

Re-queening feral or aggressive hives can replace undesirable traits by introducing a more docile queen. Nervous, defensive bees that are overly runny or drippy should be re-queened. It is best to re-queen sooner rather than later when hives are still establishing. Using a nucleus hive is the most successful re-queening method. Moving the brood chamber away removes aggressive foragers, allowing easier queen detection. Finding and introducing the new queen can require patience and creativity with very defensive hives showing heavy African traits.
This document discusses planning for increasing beehive numbers in the spring. It outlines several methods for acquiring new hives, including buying packages or nucs, catching swarms, and making splits from existing hives. Splits involve dividing a hive in half so both parts get a queen, brood, and supplies. Walk-away splits require minimal equipment and labor. The Miller method for raising queens from existing hives is also described in detail. The presentation provides guidance on timing and considerations for various expansion techniques.
This document provides an overview of beekeeping for beginners in Kentucky. It discusses bee biology and the roles of queens, workers, and drones in the hive. It covers basic beekeeping equipment like hive bodies, frames, and protective gear. It explains how to acquire bees and perform basic operations such as feeding and inspecting hives. The document also discusses seasonal management activities and enemies of bees. Overall, it serves as a comprehensive introduction and reference for anyone interested in starting beekeeping.
This document provides information about grainage facilities and procedures for producing disease-free silkworm eggs on a large scale. Key points include: Grainages produce industrial seeds/eggs for commercial rearing; They are located in cooler areas and have facilities for rearing parental cocoons, sex separation, egg laying and storage; Procedures include rearing parental cocoons, synchronizing moth emergence, separating sexes, pairing and oviposition, and examining mothers for disease; Eggs are processed by soaking, salting to remove infertile eggs, and disinfection before packing. Chawki or young age rearing involves brushing, feeding tender leaves, maintaining optimal temperature and humidity, and increasing bed space as larvae

This document discusses various methods for splitting bee hives, including even splits, walk away splits, typical splits, cut down splits, and Demaree splits. It describes the reasons for splitting hives as preventing swarms, increasing the number of hives, requeening hives, increasing honey production, and raising queens. The timing for splits is discussed as well as concepts like ensuring both resulting hives have a queen, food, nurse bees, and properly arranged frames.

The document summarizes the process of silk manufacturing from cultivating silkworm cocoons through producing silk yarn. It describes how silkworms are bred and fed mulberry leaves, which causes them to spin cocoons. The cocoons are then sorted, dried, and graded. Acceptable cocoons undergo filature operations where the silk filament is reeled from the cocoon, producing raw silk. The raw silk can then be further processed into yarns or fabrics.

Sericulture, the production of raw silk by means of raising caterpillars (larvae), particularly those of the domesticated silkworm (Bombyx mori). ... Care of the silkworm from the egg stage through completion of the cocoon. Production of mulberry trees that provide leaves upon which the worms feed.
1) New bee colonies in the spring need to be fed 1:1 syrup to stimulate comb building and brood rearing since they lack honey stores. The entrance should be restricted when feeding to prevent robbing.
2) To prevent swarming, the beekeeper should checkerboard frames, keep ahead of honey production with extra supers, and perform artificial swarm splits by moving the queen and some frames to a new hive while removing queen cells from the original hive.
3) Weak colonies in late spring/summer can be strengthened by exchanging frames of sealed brood from strong colonies and providing more space with additional supers as the existing supers fill with half to two-thirds of honey.

Expanding your apiary by increasing the number of bee hives you keep. Discusses issues with multiple bee yards, or out yards. Discusses buying used equipment for sale.
Organic beekeeping involves following principles of minimal intrusion and avoiding synthetic chemicals that could accumulate in the hive and honey. To be certified organic, beekeepers must develop an organic systems plan, keep extensive records for three years, and undergo inspections. Certification is expensive and certification standards can vary between agencies. Alternatively, beekeepers can market their honey as naturally grown following the Certified Naturally Grown program, which is less expensive and cumbersome. Face-to-face marketing allows beekeepers to explain their practices to customers.

5. Queen Rearing is Simple
1. Create a queenless colony
(as simple as removing the queen)
2. Colony should have
--a large population of young, nurse bees
--ample stores of pollen and nectar

7. Queen Rearing is Simple
Nurse bees then
1. feed worker larvae copious
amounts of royal jelly and
2. reconstruct the cell to hang
vertically
Worker matures to a higher level (queen)

Generous nectar flow
Abundant pollen
Strong colony (cell builder) of
healthy nurse bees
14. Timeline for queens
3-1/2 days egg
5-1/2 days larva
7 days pupa
Day 16 queen hatches
5-7 days harden, mate
3-5 days mature, lay eggs
24 – 28 days to production

2. The Procrastinator’s Method
3. The “I Just” Method
4. The “I’ll Let” Method
5. The NICOT Queen Rearing Kit
6. The Five-Minute Queen Method
16. 1. The Doolittle Method
Graft (remove) day-old larvae (day 4) to
a cell cup
Place cell cups (grafts) in a queenless
cell starter for 48 hours
Move cell cups to a queen-right
cell finisher for 4 to 9 days
Place capped cells in mating nucs
(Day 10 - 15)
18. Advantages
Can be started anytime
Cuts 4 days off the process
Large quantities of queens can
be raised
19. Disadvantages
Can you identify day-old larvae?
Can you graft without damaging
the larvae?
Need --good eye sight
--a steady hand
--excellent lighting
20.
21. 2. Procrastinator’s Method
Ignore colonies and trigger the impulse to
swarm (but when?)
Hope to catch swarm as it leaves (when
cells are capped)
Hope queen cells are evenly distributed
among the frames.
Divide frames with swarm cells into nucs.
22. 3. The “I just” method
“I just” pulled two frames of brood and
put them in a nuc. Nuc is queenless.
But we expect a weak, under-resourced
nuc make fantastic queen cells.
Not completely impossible to get a
good queen.
23. 4. “I’ll let” method
“I’ll let my bees decide when they need
a new queen.”
Run down colonies burdened with low
morale hope to make a queen.
Lost production waiting
24. 5. NICOT queen rearing kit
Kit costs around $80
Cell grid – where the queen is confined
to lay eggs
Cell cups – where eggs laid
Cell cup holders, cell cup fixtures –
fasten cell cups to top bars

27.
28. NICOT Process
Place the empty cell grid (no
queen) between two brood
frames to “warm up.”
Leave in for 24 to 48 hours.
29. NICOT Process
Put the front on the cell grid
Find the queen, and place her in
the cell grid
Wait 4 days to see if you see eggs.
Queen may not lay on the first day.
32. NICOT Process
Move (“graft”) cell cups with
larvae to a frame (cell cup
holders/fixtures)
Install frame into cell starter
and builder
33.

35. NICOT Disadvantages
Takes longer
2 days to warm up
2 days for fickle queen
Four cell starters per batch, all one
day behind the other
Restraining queen
36. NICOT Disadvantages
110 cells cups, and queen won’t lay
in all of them
Must graft larvae, not eggs
60-70 larvae hatch
40-50 queen cells capped
30-40 queens mated
37. 6. Five-Minute Method
Build up a colony to a minimum of
8 frames of brood
Expand brood nest to prevent
swarming
Make a “reverse split” (nuc) with
the queen, two frames of brood and
bees
38.
39. What just happened?
A fully-resourced, queenless
colony begins to make queen
cells from age-appropriate
larvae.
Do you trust the bees to choose
the larvae?
40. Return 7 days later
Expect to find capped queen
cells…now what?
Option 1
Squish all but two queen cells
and super for honey production
41. Return 7 days later
Option 2
Divide the frames with queen
cells between nuc boxes,
allocating frames with cells
between them.
Squish all but two cells per nuc
42.
43.
44. Return 21 days later
Confirm queen mated by
observing pearly white brood
45. How’s this work?
Bees do all the heavy lifting
Requires a minimal amount of
time from the beekeeper
Allows for weather disruptions
Limit to 4 to 5 nucs per existing
hive.
46. Five-Minute Method
Remove queen, reverse split
Return 7 days later, squish all
but two cells
Return 21 days later to confirm
mated, laying queen
Virtually goof-proof
