Wow keeping the bees held back from swarming this spring has an interesting experience! The flow keep teasing us that it is almost here but we aren't quite there yet. So this is how I like to keep my bees from swarming. SO far we have caught 6 swarms this year! This hive being one of them. Do you think this is OG?
Also.. I have started a new membership on the channel called the Hive Mind! I started this membership to give you a behind the scenes look at what it is truly like learning and growing with beekeeping as we expand our apiary. All proceeds go towards helping support our growth and buying more equipment. I am beyond thankful for how far we have come and it is all thanks to YOU for supporting my journey these last few years!
