I consolidated two hives this morning and as a result have a good queen to
sell.
This hive was queenless for 37 days and had a serious varroa problem earlier
in the summer (beekeeper error all the way). It was weak as a result. I
bought and installed a queen on August 5. As of a week ago I thought
something had gone wrong and the hive was still queenless. I was planning
this morning to newspaper-combine this hive with another. But surprise, there
was lots of brood on two frames. However, I decided that i don’t want to feed
this hive all winter and it is better for me to have two strong hives rather
than include this smaller one too. So, I went ahead with my combining
intention.
If you are interested in this queen for $20, please give me a call.
919-932-3554.
Thanks,
Jerry Schoendorf
