Last Wednesday was my baptism of fire with one of my colonies (can I call them that yet - when do they go from being a nuc to a colony?). I transferred them...
Hi Folks, One of my hives that doesn't seem to want to build a third box has swarmed three times this year. I am delighted, because I'm not finding swarms...
