Anybody ventured and made a double five frame nucs? That could possibly be made to use the standard national floor but with a divider in the middle to hold two five frames nucleus? Possibly a rear facing entrance on one of them. Bored and thinking out loud on a Sunday. Might not work but...

30% worker rest drone id say roughly

Some sealed worker brood there yes but nothing compared to my other hives.

Now your asking, pretty sure it was just one egg but can not be certain 🙈

Went through them today, brood pattern a bit scattered. A lot of drone brood present and could see fresh eggs in a few frames. I tried to find the queen by putting them down through a qx but no avail. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks

No osr near us for miles. Apologies the hive is very defensive I should of written. Will be checking today for eggs. Any idea of someone that has queens this early? Thanks

I could have, but with the amount of bees in there means that hardly any have gone. But I've found eggs and fresh larvae in there? Is there a simple move I can do to split them down before delving in at least then I'll increase my hives as that is my original plan. And also will have less bees...

As soon as the weather turned nice last Thursday they have become terrible, following us for 100 yards and even attacking us when we're nowhere near them. Something has to change

I have a national hive on double brood, bees on all frames and quite full. They have become quite aggressive so I was hoping to re queen (or is there another reason they have become angry) eggs in the frames so the queen must be there somewhere. Would it work if I grabbed the top brood box and...

Messaged you

If these dont go, ill have them can collect

Could you pm me with the "chosen one too please 🤣

If they are superseeding (excuse the spelling) could i try and split a few frames off and make a nuc with them? Like in a 2in 1 poly nuc, a small 3 frame one?

I dont think so he was sh*t scared of the bees 😂😂😂

Ive Bought a swienty hive off a local chap that has recently moved in to his house, hes never handled bees so was glad to get rid of it. Brood box, QE and 2 supers all full of drawn out comb, when i picked it up it turned out that a swarm had moved in so bonus. Now ive had it home for 2...

Ok ill just put up with them for a while as they were free 😂😂

Any reason why they absconded? The 2 swarms i lost were nice and quiet could handle them without a suit, i put a feeder in for them to try and keep them but to no avail

Ye thats the plan, now im happy that shes laying etc i wont bother her too much. Is there anyway i can get them a bit more docile? also i just bought a nuc and transfered them into another hive they are much friendlier so hopefully they will get on ok

Ive spent hours trying to find her

That is correct, this is my 3rd swarm i caught, 1st two i did as you said and put them in the brood box, but for some reason they absconded! Was told that it was due to no drawn out comb, so i gave these a super (brood and a half i think its called) i hope that im on the right track. Thanks...
