Over the winter I was thinking I would like to increase my hive numbers from 2 to possibly 3 or 4. After the last week I now have 5. Provided they all get mated ok I'm now finding I'm thinking about uniting! In order for me to improve my honey crop this year do I wait a few weeks then reunite some. Wait until mid summer for them to build numbers then combine for summer flow. Or let them do there thing and get them built up seeing what state there in for winter.
I have a Nuc box left and an old shed of a bait hive up a tree for spare equipment. After this crazy spell is out the way in regards to AS will it settle down or should I start knocking together more kit!?
Thoughts please.
