Due to my lame beekeeping, and some captured swarms (maybe mine, maybe not), I have 3 and a bit colonies of bees and I only want two.
I caught a fairly big swarm (10 days or so since they moved in) in a full hive and a much smaller cast swarm (4 hours or so since they moved in) in a poly nuc hive.
If there are any desperate beginners out there trying to get started, you are very welcome to one or both of these colonies. You'll need to collect them and provide some housing for them. I can help with that but I'm not an expert.
I don't give any promises on whether they'll survive, what state the queen's in, what their heritage is, etc. If you want to be sure of all that, find a more experience beekeeper and pay proper money
