Hi All,
This is my first year keeping bees. I started out with a Warre hive and a package. Decided to take a mostly observatory approach at first and my hive swarmed four times even though I added a box as I saw them filling up the original two (turns out I added the extra box a little too late and there were already many queen cells created). Since then I have added a 10 frame Langstroth with a huge swarm that is doing well, and an 8 frame Langstroth from a cutout, they are doing okay but I'm waiting until the end of the week to see if I got the queen and if she is healthy.
Looking forward to working with everyone here.
Cheers!
