How much is shipping for a 5 ?

We have queens 3-5 yrs.old and doing great.If they build up in the Spring to 15 -18 frames they are doing great.The economical way is,kill the queen and they rear a new one.

It was a new colony just started this year,about a month old. It was doing good,3 frames brood-eggs,4 frames honey. 7-8 frames off bees. We had put some drawn comb in,I think it was something in it....

Do ya want honey or another colony ? With all them bees hanging out you better do something soon,they need room.

Something new happened to me a couple weeks ago,tell me what you think it is ? One hive all of a sudden,the bees started dieing,new brood some born real small,some dieing unborn.Nothing unusual seen...
