    I suspect two queens

    Check the QE carefully for damage and try changing it if you have another, it happens easy and the first you know is brood where it's not always wanted.

    Bees at entrance

    We are on Hamilton in the Waikato . The bees aren't hanging out at this time of the year it's mid winter here although it's a mild one at that

    how many hives is to much

    I think two hives is best for insurance and comparing as you go. Over here we can't sell honey, only bees so lots of hives just means surplus honey in the garage, you can only eat or give away so much

    How high can you stack supers?

    Biggest problem I see is the base giving out under the weight, I have seen pallets crush under the weight of a hive before

    Bees at entrance

    Our bees hang out when they are overcrowded or they are too hot. Sometimes until well after dark in the summer months
