    When and how did you start beekeeping?

    How many hives

    If you plan on starting reasonably soon it could be worth your while going to the BBKA Convention at Newport, Shropshire (Google for it). Stuff for sale and talks by experts but you may need to book.

    Having to move bees before April.

    Sealing the entrances with lumps of foam in the dark the night before would solve that problem?

Had his breeding apiary somewhere SE of Ludlow or thereabouts and had a coup[le of them from him - went down there to collect them actually but too old for that game now. Got a telno...

    A little help please

    Seems to me that, apart from the earlier very good advice, you need at least one other hive and the best way of doing is not what you have tried so far but to imho to split the existing one by putting a couple of brood frames and stores from it, when they have built up the brood situation in...

    Hefting and winter stores
