    I planted Joe Pye weed last year. It is about 6 to 7 feet high and is loaded with flowers that are loaded with bees and butterflies. It likes it wet. I wish every one who has a spot for it or can create a spot would grow it. Pick wild seeds or buy plants from nursery locally or on line. They will spread profusely. My perpose is for pollinators and to improve bee populations .My question is how to make a suitable "home" for the bees . Not for honey production but to help protect them .Another wild life plant i grow is the service berry. The birds love them and if given water periodically they are tasty ,They would be a great wildlife forage addition that need almost no care.

    I use a very simmilar method for combining the colonies that need requeening in August. I leave them with two queens laing antil fall when I decide between the two queens. That gives me more brood in the fall beside a new queen.

      @@ThatBeeMan I’m using the double screen so I can have 2 opportunities for queens. One on the bottom and one on the top. I guess it’s possible to simply remove the ds board but I’d rather slowly introduce them. In this case I didn’t get a queen on the bottom mated so the simple combine is fitting. I currently have another ds board setup with a queen up top and down below. I’ll be looking for a place for that queen on top soon.
