I have some pretty high hopes for today, but I really gotta be careful about that. Today my partner in crime and I are going to do hive inspections on the swarms I caught a few weeks ago. We are looking to see if they are building comb, if the queen is laying eggs, and if there are any red flags such as mites. I think we have eleven colonies at her house, and I am hoping to have at least five strong enough colonies to last through next Winter. It would be asking too much for all eleven to make it. Last Winter was pretty rough. We lost both colonies that we bought, even though we did everything we thought we should do, but just weren’t successful. Funny thing, the colony that we pulled out of a friends front doorway pillar, and pretty much brutalized, is still going strong. It is a very small colony, but for some reason keeps on going. This just strengthens my belief that swarms are much stronger than bought bees. I hope I have good news for you guys later.
