Puck
New Bee
Hello Everyone!
It's been quite sometime since I've been on the forums, since in the end, I was never able to set up my hive. It's been 5 years since my last post! I hope everyone is doing well especially in these trying times. I'm looking forward to being more active on the forums from now on!
I'm happy to report that I've now got my own hive! It's hand me down Langstroth hive I got from my uncle's friend after the unfortunate demise of his swarm. It consists of a stand, 1 deep, 1 super, and 24 frames.
The bees left behind what I'm pretty sure is wax and there are some cells still capped in there. Can I do anything with the wax? It's been there for maybe a year or two.
I know it's pretty shabby looking, but I'm looking forward to getting some bees in there after a thorough cleaning (or not, what do you guys think?) I'm also thinking of having one more super made.
