I have been trying really really hard to be patient but the more I read and the more I hang out here the more I want my bees. I want them NOW!!!
However I can and will be patient if it is not advised to start a new hive this time of year. I don't even know if I could find bees anyways but if I could find a local nuc, maybe a local keeper willing to split a hive for me...could I possibly do it or should I just hold off until spring? I think I know the answer but I want to see what others have to say. If nothing else it will act to confirm and perhaps dampen my fire a little so it can smolder over the winter. Thanks.
