I had a queen in the hive till wendsday and then introduced the new queen on thursday. Would there be a laying worker in the hive when there is a queen in the hive? Would a worker start laying in...

I have been having a ton of problems with just one split I did this spring. The first queen dissappeared. With the second queen I got mostly drone brood so I wendsday I killed her, I went thru and...

Hey thanks, but who is Scotty? LOL

I think you and chemistbert's truck must be relaited,LOL.

Although I dont know first hand how a keeper with a lot of hives stops it, cuz I only have a few hives. But I know I had a small problem last year with a bigger hive trying to rob out a smaller hive,...

Sourwood - from my understanding feeding a small, or weak hive with HBH can cause the hive to get robbed. Id say the >"Let's all get together here" signal < is a little too loud when the hive is...
