You laugh, but I'm seriously considering some 6-foot hives!!!

Les Crowder suggests taking honey during the flow is like deadheading flowers - it spurs them to make more! Or, maybe you need to make a 6 foot hive! ;-) I think in the future, I'll make sure to cull down to 3-4 queen cells like you did in Austeja to prevent swarming. Although, if you catch the swarm, it's all good (as long as you have equipment/room). That first picture is beautiful, I love how white the new comb and cappings are! I hope your flow keeps going, despite what the clover says!Donhttp://www.buddhaandthebees.netnoreply@blogger.com
