    Swarm prep in 6 hives

    The miracle is that hives get the swaming idea at same time. When you see the queen cells, their swarming fever has started perhaps 10 days or a week erarlier.

    I recommend 2 brood boxes. He is a new beekeeper and he wants wrong things. The queen really wants to lay more and only solution is then swarming = to find a new better home, because it has no more space to lay. Do he wants a big hive or 2 swarms more. When the hive grows bigger, propably...

    YEah stundkid If I tell my analyse about British young beekeepers, you surely will tear your new pants. The guys who get 15 kg honey from hives and they know everything. When I started 60 years ago, I got on average 40 kg per hive. And our yield season is 2 months.

    You have a big hole in your knowledge. Nothing has missed. Now you put second brood box and you follow, what the colony dors next. And no excluder. Let the queen lay in two boxes So you will know, how good is your queen. When two boxes are full, then put a honey super and you may use an...
