I havent had the number of swarm calls I usually have this time of year. What has been your experience this spring? Swarms late this year or non existant?

Heavy bee loss in Michigan this winter by what everyone is saying.
Maybe you need more likes on your facebook page! :scratch:

That would bee nice. lol picked up 9 large virgin queens from a feral cutout this morning, know of anyone who needs some?

I have had zero swarm calls so far, very unusual for this time of year, but as tefer2 said, the brutal winter wiped out lots of hives in this area.

Me!

May be a long ride over here to get one! lol

No doubt! I have a queenless swarm. Gave them a frame of brood to make a queen, and they did, and she came back, but she isn't laying anything at all. I'm thinking I will dump them in front of another hive to find a new home.
