@StingyCreekHoneyBees I just got my first hives, but I'm late to the game. So unless a swarm moves into them.I'm not planning on having bees until next year. I want to give them the best possible chance to survive the winter here up north
@@demetrajohnson571 That’s great! Not sure how far north you are but waiting and starting strong in the spring is a good idea for getting off to a good start. Hope it all goes well!
Occasionally they will but she was caged in the hive for two days before release and they were getting pretty desperate for a queen since it had been so long. So our chances of acceptance were pretty high.
This made me happy! Thank you! God bless!
Thank you and God bless!

@@demetrajohnson571 Also it may be helpful to attend local bee meetings. I have found most beekeepers are friendly and eager to help.
@@StingyCreekHoneyBees lol all the way to maine 😁
I don’t know much about bees… do the workers ever reject a new queen?
