My bees are flying frantically in front of my existing hive like never before. I have been told that this hive is pretty healthy. Since I'm brand new at this, I would greatly appreciate some advice from experienced beeks.
If my hive was preparing to swarm, would it work if I put a new hive right across (say, 15') from my existing one to give the swarming bees a new home. Or, should I put the new hive right next to the existing one. Do you think they might just go there and start a new hive?
