Im getting into apiculture as well….got a spot picked out in the backyard that will house 2 hives and everything. My uncle and Vet Tech teacher both have hives, and my uncle got over 150lbs of honey last year...
@Eric Allan–observation hives usually only hold 4 frames of bees, so if you keep them in one of them for too long they swarm away. You usually have to split them off fairly quickly.
@John1982–what kind of hive management are you using?? Treatment free?? Excluder or not?? And what strain you using?? I'm thinking of trying either Carniolans or Cordovans...
