Dealing with a “hot” or highly defensive hive can be one of the most challenging experiences in the apiary. Instead of struggling with mean bees every time you do an inspection, you can completely reset their temperament through careful splitting and requeening.

In this video, we break down a defensive colony into smaller, manageable nucs and introduce new queens with gentle genetics to completely turn the hive’s behavior around.

What you will learn in this video:

How to identify when a colony’s defensive behavior requires intervention.

The step-by-step process of breaking down a large, aggressive hive safely.

How to successfully introduce a new queen to a freshly split colony.

Why changing genetics is the ultimate solution for a calm and productive apiary.
