Hello my first post
Im new to bee keeping
We have had bees in the past for pollenation of our fruit trees
But know we are keeping them our self, which is what ive wanted to do for years
Every thing seems to be going ok, bees all look good we have 10 hives
honey is selling well
But we have over 50 acres of apple and pear trees on different sites
So was woundering if we can, or when we can make these into more hives
and which hives it is best to use
Any help would be apriciated
We thought we would have a few swarms buy now but nothing
Although we are trying not to let this happen
We are using hational hives
We are in Wisbech Cambs
Most of the hives at the moment have only one super on will be adding more to it in coulple about a week, some i dont think need more and we have 2 with no supers a swarm in a nuc
and the best hive has about 3 supers on
Thank you
