    Year one Queens

    too many variables to answer with any accuracy. If space etc are taken as adequate then most queens don't try and swarm in the year they are born, some don't in the next year either. Most seem to in year 3. This is heavily dependent on if they came from swarmy stock though, swarmy bees can't...

    Making a huge increase in numbers?

    Hopefully, they have started building the kit already. Shouldn't be a ridiculous task if they buy queens in.
