Just some very basic questions!
I have a super full of uncapped honey and want to remove it rather than leave it before ivy arrives but will this honey crystallise if it is uncapped?
this colony has become quit defensive even though they are queen right. I am guessing its because they is...
I set up a small apidea with the optimistic hope that I might mate a recently caught virgin queen. I am not expecting much but it could happen!
Also created a nuc for a mated queen. Just hope I followed the advice I got and all will be well.
found a virgin queen
I visited a colony we thought was queenless and inspected the hive. We have a mated queen there which has not yet been released from the cage. We had queen excluder at the entrance as we had recently shaken out the colony to try and remove an unmated queen.
On inspection...
