A beekeeper checks on a UK-mated F1 queen three months after introducing her as a cell. The queen is visibly active, beautifully colored, and laying eggs across the brood frames, moving constantly and resisting the beekeeper's attempts to film her.
Check out the brood here. Even at this time of the year, you can see a little bit of backfilling. And this here is a UK-mated F1 queen. Very sprightly, nice queen, this one. She is beautiful. Look at that coloring, wandering around trying to find somewhere to go and lay an egg. The queens are so busy at this time of the year. This one here, she just would not stop moving. I'm trying to get a, a nice video of her and she just wouldn't stop. She's very, very reluctant to kind of go where I wanted her to go, but These UK-mated queens, they're so nice going back around and seeing them, because all I did is I went back, you know, 3 months ago and you put a cell in there, and then you come back to, to check on them. It's nice to see them.
