About two weeks, I caught a swarm and now and feeding like crazy to try and get them ready for the winter. I am thinking I will buy a package in the spring so I have at least two hives and then I will set some nucs out in hopes of getting some more free bees.
How long have you been a beekeeper ? Will be selling honey on Saturday at the Festival of the River...hope the cloudiness doesn't put people off...it does taste delicious.......
