Advice would be very welcome here. I am new to beekeeping (in fact so new I am still waiting for my first nuc). I have had a 'significant' birthday recently and was bought a WBC hive as a gift. Very nice but my intention was to use Nationals as they are simpler to handle. My question is , do I need to stick to WBC as I expand my apiary (probably two next season and probably never more than four or five). I have to retain the WBC (domestic politics) but I am thinking there may be complications with things like artificial swarming if I have a mix.
