    Default Honey bees

    How are y'alls bees looking this spring. Mine have came through the winter without any losses so far. March has always been the pivotal month for losses for me. Mine are busting at the seams and need to be split before they swarm so I'm hoping to start on that tomorrow.

    Let me know if you have any honey for sale when it’s time to collect it, I’d like some local honey.

    I get some from another fellow down that way sometimes as well

    We just hung swarm traps a few weeks ago. Adding at least 6 more hives pretty soon. What we have now looks to be pretty dang good!

    I haven't hung my swarm traps up yet. Need to get on that today too. If anyone really wants to get some bees and needs some help let me know. I don't mind a road trip anywhere.

    Mine are looking good so far. Don’t know if I’ll get them split in time before they swarm or not.

    I will be treating for varroa soon...

    They are definitely moving. Guy with traps on my place has caught bees in 3 of his traps in the last few weeks.
