● Helps spot breeder queens from hives that are qualified through the appropriate strength, weight, and health.
● Organizes and prepares the cleaning and maintenance of nucs that are needed for starting the queens.
● Pouring the appropriate amount of bees in the three different sizes of nucs we run.
● Misting the bees with water - enough to no kill them, but to avoid them from flying in the nuc barn while we are preparing the nucs.
● Staging the nuc barn with the appropriate equipment needed to prepare the nucs: drivert, bees, cells, nucs, water pump, wheelbarrows, shovels, and gloves.

● Monitor breeder boxes for health and productivity. Continue to move around frames from these hives to allow the appropriate age of larva to be viable for grafting.
● Communicate and support queen sales crew with marking queens for sale, packaging queens.
● Maintaining queen banks for health and productivity - adding brood, bulk bees, or putting them on established hives for overwintering.
