I just got my first swarm this father's day I'm a new keeper and don't buy bees I hunt em but I have to say it's far more exciting when they move in on their own I'm in Daytona Florida took 4 months of scouts before they moved in just not sure when to inspect em after they move in
I can't commit to being a true mentor for you. I will try to answer specific questions should they arise. Being a Newbie is a good thing and I hope you thrive. Stay in touch. Jim
@onetewbee thanks well my question would be when should I do a inspection on a wild swarm after they move in? I don't want them to abscond they are bringing stores in already and should I keep the natural queen that's use to the area or get a farm raised one?

Would you mind being a mentor through comments for a newbie I would love to pick your brain
