    question?

    I re queened this hive last year. I was puzzled with just the one capped cell, I did think that maybe she made a mistake and laid an egg in a cup by mistake. Cheers

    second super ?

    Hi, We added a super two weeks ago and on inspection earlier this week they had nearly drawn all the ten frames out and had around eight frames of uncapped honey stored in them. Our next inspection will be towards the end of next week and I wondered when would be the best time to add another...

How long would I have to keep them three miles away before I could bring them to their new...
