hive headaches
LazyBkpr:
Split my BIG hive today, I'll go in and look a the other hives this weekend and decide if and when to split depending on how crowded they are getting... Didn;t see any queen cells in the big hive, but it was five boxes and packed full. The other hives shouldnt be too far behind it... Didn't get stung today... strangely enough... maybe they are starting to love me?
Jen:
No doubt in my mind Lazy ~ How many hives are you running now?
Zweefer:
Walk away split, or did you put a queen in each one?
LazyBkpr:
Walk away split... Made sure both hives had eggs, and I'll go back in and check both in a few days looking for queen cells... Hoping they have a couple extra to split a couple more hives with... Unfortunately I dont have anyone ten minutes down the road with queens, so I am on my own unless I want to order them... I am hoping to MAKE a few later in June to fill up a few nucs.. NOT having good luck overwintering nuc's and need to figure out how to get them through the winters better.... Mrs Jen.. I try to keep ten hives, and have five nucs by the end of july....
Zweefer:
Still doing the double story 2x2 (side by side) for overwintering?
