Queen Excluders and Honey Supers

Summary: The key is to get the bees to WANT to go through the queen excluder.

Precisely four resources do that. Combine all four and the compulsion is irresistible to the bees, and they WILL transit the queen excluder into the super.

They are:

1. Space
2. Storage
3. Food
4. Brood.

Keeping in mind that a consistent frame size can be helpful but you are able to adapt spacing accordingly.

Assuming a healthy productive colony, and all other things are equal, the four things most affecting bees transiting a queen excluder go into a single category with four sub categories as follows:

Category: Resource Management

Four Sub categories: 1. Space, 2. Storage, 3. Food, and 4. Brood.

These are the primary ways to make the bees want to squeezed through a queen excluder, whatever size and type of equipment frames you use.

So, leaving a queen excluder off until they start building, filling, laying a little can jump start them and you can shake the bees and queen down and then put the excluder on.

You can take a mistaken super full of brood and do the same thing, then distribute frames of brood to other hives amongst un drawn frames above Queen excluders for the same effect.

If your equipment is mismatched you can adjust the configuration accordingly.

You can even cut out brood, comb etc.

Regardless, the theory and practice are the same.

Give them a reason to go through the queen excluder and they will, eventually.

The least of these reasons is the empty or un drawn space above the excluder.

The next greater reason is storage space, or drawn comb.

The next greater reason is the food stored in the storage space or drawn comb.

And the greatest, most compelling reason is the brood. It is compulsive to them. They must take care of their babies.

Give them more than one reasons, they will transit the excluder even more enthusiastically.

Give them all four? They will be up there with almost no hesitation. 😊

Organic Honey Truth

We saw this on another honey site and wanted to share change it a little and wanted to share our perspective on it.

We get asked if our honey is organic all the time. Most often, the customer really just wants to know if it is real, pure, unadulterated, local, raw honey. And when pressed a little, they’ll acknowledge that’s what they mean.

But to answer the question “is our honey organic?” No, it is not.

The truth is there is no organic honey produced in the USA.

Our bees are kept in the rural Oak Grove Napoleon Missouri area on the eastern edge of the Kansas City Metro most of the year and during honey season but there are near by farms and neighbors, a highway, gas stations etc.

Other than where we place their hive and the general radius they forage being a few miles, we can't really predict or control where the bees go.

And if at any time during the lifespan of that equipment that holds the hive, it has been near a town or farm then you can't say it's organic (at least honestly).

We can guarantee our honey local to our area. We can guarantee it is pure. We can guarantee that it is as is RAW and NATURAL as it can be, but it is not organic.

Any beekeeper in your town that claims they have harvested organic honey is not being honest with you.

So if you're looking for organic honey, outside of sourcing it from an isolated island state, you won’t find it. And importing it means it’s not local, doesn’t it?

We aren't going to be able to help you.

But if you want local, raw and natural honey just like the bees made it visit our website give us a text or message and we can help.
