Hi from Wisconsin!
« on: June 01, 2014, 06:58:13 pm »
Hi everyone,
I am a 3rd year beekeeper from beautiful Central Wisconsin, where our long hard winter ended and the trees and bees have been racing to get back on schedule!   I have 3 hives - one that made it through the winter, which I split and the queenless end of that deal has grown its own new queen (my first - so proud of her!).   And the third hive was a packaged installed early April. 

All are doing well although the split with the new queen is quite a bit behind the other hives.   I should probably put a frame of capped brood in there from the other hives... BUT, the one next to it is all mediums, and this one is in a deep, so its not ideal for swapping!   

Anyway - glad to be here - I think I recognize some names from elsewhere on the 'net.

Thanks
Chris

Just wondering how things are going toward the center of the state?   How are your bees doing?
