New Bees to New Hive

[Carol Dee]

Didn't they use to send her with her exit hole stopped with sugar? By the time she ate her way out, hive was established?

DH has done it both ways!

Much, much learning needs to happen before you get bees, NY, or you will lose a lot of money and some good bees along the way, maybe even kill some good bees.

This is my favorite beekeeper, as he favors a more natural approach and has the hive health certificates posted to his site to show how that's all working out since he started moving in that direction. He also has a few books that can get you started, as well as much, much information on his site and it's super easy to navigate....

Thanks Rich that makes sense . As much as I want bees going to wait. I kind of had it in back of my head if I didn't want honey the bees would take care of themselves.
