i'm in spondon. have you been to any meetings yet?

 

[BWIZZ]

No not yet .. are there any local ones ??

Do you keep your Bees at home?

 

[notagain]

The derby one is held in Crich, the first Tuesday in the month, living next door to a nursing home, wasn't the best place for me to keep the bees,so I moved them to thulston .Unfortunatly I am down to one hive,

 

[BWIZZ]

Did you lose Bees over the winter?

I feel a car share coming on! I'm like 5 minutes from Chester Green.

Looks like this thread may be a bit old and stale. I am a newbie in Kegworth, suffering from swarm chaos. Can anyone advise locally?

 

[BWIZZ]

Hi Slangers,

Can you explain what you feel is the main issue for you?

Thanks

 

[slangers]

I am having a lot of issue with swarming and have now got 4 colonies that I feel are weak.
Colony A swarmed and was recaptured and is now queen less for some reason
Colony B- was the remnant when A swarmed. Has a young queen, but is very small for time of year.
Colony C- was a new nuc that came in 3 weeks ago, but swarmed, so currently queenless and low on food
Colony D- recaptured swarm from C. Currently in nuc box as I have nowhere else to put it.

I am lacking confidence as a newbie and have rapidly accrued 4 colonies and the firm impression that I must be doing something wrong.

SLANGERS; Are you registered with BeeBase? AFB has been confirmed this year in your area.

 

[Poly Hive]

This is very out of date as I no longer am in the area.
