[QUOTE="Breeder of queens Koss, post: 10781, member: 449"] Hi all, I thought I'd continue to tell you about my beekeeping. The season started very promisingly in February with the arrival of fresh pollen and warm days. There was some brood in the hives. But then the weather changed and we had sub-zero temperatures all of March. The bees didn't have time to change and the families weakened quite a bit. It was only towards the end of April that I started to do the first work on hatching queens. Now it is May, there is a lot of work, but the weather is still not good - strong winds and low temperatures of +10+15°C. Today I did the transfer of the larvae and took a little photo shoot for you. I am working under a microscope and a homemade Swiss-like spatula. I try to take the larvae that are on the border where the eggs and larvae are. The larva is smaller than the egg and is fed with clear royal jelly. Usually, this royal jelly is very small and can only be picked up with a Swiss spatula, you can't do that with a Chinese spatula [ATTACH type="full"]1389[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
