Hello;
This is my 3rd year beekeeping.
With two hives, two years ago, I managed to process eleven gallons of honey.
I left the honey from last season, and let the Bees keep it.
It looks like I have one hive that has made it through the winter, possible two, one is a little weak.
My issue is that I have three new packages on the Way.
My third hive is brand new. Meaning that I have ready to install one package.
I cannot get a refund on my pre-paid hives.
What to do? I have no place for two of the new packages.
I was thinking of installing two packages in the one empty hive along with an extra Medium supper for room.
And to install package in the active hives minus their shipping queen, to let them get use to a new queen.
One other note, my present bees are Italian. The packages that I have coming are Russian.
THANK YOU,
Mike
