I’m hoping my four colonies will still be alive and well after the winter (they are all still showing signs of activity so far) then when it’s warm enough I’m going to try and mark my queens in anticipation of a Bailey Comb Change (for my nuc that are on standard national frames in a 14x12 with insulated dummy boards, so nice and toasty, to get them onto properly sized frames) and also prepare for a potential Demaree of the others if the signs are there: one at least I think will be developed enough to think about swarming. I’ve made all the requisite kit (I think) so just need to be prepared and take a deep breath! Great advice on this forum about all the things I need to think about doing so thank you.
