Greeting from Pennsylvania USA - Warre keeper

[Ckohl]

Hello everyone. Really enjoy the discussions, especially on the Warre experiences. We started raising our bees in 2009, lost a few colonies, gained a few (swarm captures), started with 2 now we're up to 7.

I have questions for some of the more experienced Warre users, I'll place them on the Warre forum. Thank you in advance for your input!

Welcome to the forum it can get heated but most of the members are pussycats in lion costumes.

This site really interested me because it appears to have originated in The UK. The Warre hives are a relatively new to the states when compared to European use.

Of course if I'm going to be credible here I'm going to need to learn how to say things like "What's all this then" and "Bob's your uncle"

Of course if I'm going to be credible here I'm going to need to learn how to say things like ........ "Bob's your uncle"

....to which the (ever-so-slightly naughty) reply is, "Fanny's your aunt!".

our climate is temperate marine so...wet with relativity mild winters for the latitude, currently midnight and 8 celsius (46 F) but could drop to several degrees below freezing within days if a NE wind come in from russia
