    Strongest hive so far.

    As a bit of a trial this year i gave about 20 Paynes nucs a riser and then a full bag of fondant and also a bag of Candipolline gold.

    Does sperm mix in the spermatheca?

    my bees are dark Irish natives and when ever they mate out to imports, i can see over the course of the year a big difference in the % of the yellow banding in that colony. anything for 10% to 30% and back to nearly pure looking again.

    No, it not for knocking as i have about 20 polys myself, but you just have to be a little more diligent in you rat control. I have one apiary beside a stream and i only keep timbers in it, at its always prone to attempted rat attacks during the winter.
