Even as a new beekeeper I have a hard time liking those plastic boxesI remember that video. This could be the better option, I wouldn't lose any drawn comb. The NUC box is one of those corrugated plastic things which I don't even like to touchThanks WalleyG74 for jogging this ol'
mind?
Even worse is a plastic hive, WTH. Hey, wood works so let's fix it. Same ol', same ol'. Haven't seen a better mouse trap yet.Even as a new beekeeper I have a hard time liking those plastic boxes
The Holly is in bloom and alive with bees. Added another medium to the 2 established hives for a total of 2 mediums on each and a deep to the split which has exploded and is completely drawn in the bottom box. Still feeding honey and syrup to the split although they are slowing down on that. The swarm I recovered I gave to the couple we are helping out due to their weak NUC. I've changed my mind, I think I'll be taking some spring honey from the stronger 2.Bees are doing the bee dance! It makes me smile to see them do that. That says strong colony to me. The true meaning may remain a mystery, but I think they’re telling me they are happy!
