This is my first year beekeeping. So I'm pretty new. I have two hives, that I started at about May 20ish. I started with two nucs, both with different variety of bees. (the strong hive is Buckfast, the weak; Carolina) Can I still transfer frames to each hive even though they're both different type of bees?
Also,
How do I know when to stop feeding the bees with sugar syrup. I fed them about 3/4 gallon, the buckfast sucked it up in about 11 days, but the Carolina only sucked up about 75% within those 11 days. Both bees filled a whole entire frame full of sugar syrup, maybe more, and they were drawing more comb out. Should i keep feeding them until they lose interest?
Thanks for all of the help.
