We will be in Magic Kingdom for my daughter’s 8th birthday. Though this isn’t a trip for her birthday, I’d still love some ideas on how to make the day special. Thank you!
STL beekeeper for six years. Average about 8-10 hives.
So far this year, we’ve caught 12 swarms. That’s just the ones we’ve seen and caught. They range in size—some are volleyball sized, and some are larger.
Originally we had four queenless hives, and all four have made a queen. As of last week’s check, everyone appeared fine with enough space, supers, and brood in various stages.
…we’ve caught two swarms since.
What is going on? This is so unlike any of my other years of beekeeping. It’s stressing me out to have almost tripled our hives in one year.
What’s the best way to address this? Combine? Find the most productive hives and get rid of the rest? We are hobby beekeepers, so this is just overwhelming 😅
We had so many girls sell above their average numbers to get the ferret squishmallow. Our council emailed and said they are giving our cookie rewards without them, and they have no idea when they’re receiving them.
Just curious if anyone else has gotten the same message!
