Hi, Two weeks ago I had a thriving national nuc, 2011 marked laying queen, three frames of bees with brood, stores (after a couple sugar feeds and themselves bringing in nectar and pollen), all looking like they were building up nicely for over-wintering. Yesterday I did an inspection and the...

I personally wouldnt waste 3 hours of your driving time if she isnt sure now. I tried to ask her as many questions as possible, but I dont think she really knows what she is talking about, not her fault. When I called her she was convinced they were honeybees (her words), I asked she wasnt...

Afternoon, Had a call from a lady by the name of Shelly who has bees in her shed, I asked about the bees colour, etc, and it sounds like honeybees as she mentioned they are building comb in the shed. She wants them removed ASAP. Anyone interested in getting them?, free bees... Phone her at...

Polyhive - some curious questions if I may: Interesting about 1 frame in the middle, does that not interfere with the brood pattern at all? Also why only 1 frame and not 2? Is it a case of the bees can build the foundation from either side at a good speed with only 1 frame?

I still personally think its to early for a super. A few questions: How many Brood Frames are yet to be drawn out? Did you manager to see the queen? Did you see Eggs?

How many frames of brood is there? No point in putting on a super if there is only 4 frames of brood, wait until 7 frames of brood before adding a super.
