2024 | May Meeting – Queen Marking, Checking the Split

Manny, thank you so much for opening your little paradise in Carmel to us.

Dear beekeepers, we had a fantastic meeting with Manny in May. He documented and demonstrated his double-screen split via video. Afterwards, we visited his wonderful bee garden and looked at the young split.

His bees are the most docile bees we have ever seen. Manny and Sante started working hand in hand. It was amazing to see.

Did you know that there are also small queens? Manny has one that is barely bigger than a worker bee. We found her anyway. Her daughter is the one we marked green in the photo. Green is the color of the year 2024 and by the way, it symbolizes hope. Let’s hold on to it.
