As of about an hour and a half ago - I'm a beekeeper!
(With thanks to my local "swarm fella")- who reckons it's the biggest swarm he's had this year

I bet you're smiling from ear to ear. Congratulations!

You going to treat for varroa before you got any brood?
 
they'll certainly be icing sugared, beyond that it'll be depending on what the counts are......:)
 
Congratulations Brosville, I'm really pleased to hear it. :hurray:

Now, just watch out for those neonicotinoids :ack2:

Happy beekeeping

Gavin

Is that a contented hum or the sound of a queenless hive ?

Only teasing ;)

You got room on the side of that hive for a nice big BAYER sticker :cheers2:
