Bee keepers
Any bee keepers here? Im a nubie keeper with my first hive. Could use guidance from somebody that knows whats up. I have no idea what these crazy bees are doing. Going to open them up this weekend to see whats going on now and try to find the Queen

Re: Bee keepers
I’m in my 3rd year, started with 1 hive and now i am sitting at 18. It is the most interesting thing I have ever done. Enjoy Them. I will say beekeeping is very local so what one person does may not work somewhere else.

Re: Bee keepers

May be robbed bees check at night to see if they are in the hive.

Re: Bee keepers
may have to try that. As I think about it, It may have been my fault by having feeders to close to hive.
