how ever it works i went from almost no reaction to magical systemic ER , IV', steroids and epi pens. So looks like my bee keeping hobbie is on hold until I spend a lot of time with an allergist.
That being said if anyone in "the valley", " the east bay ", modest, turlock, south Sac ( how ever far you want to drive) I would love to find a home for my strong split ( 8 frame deep 7 frames well drawn out, think 4 had brood pattern), and a very old hive with newer queen 2 over wintered deeps with a medium on top with new Top bar type foundation less. The local bee keeper I hooked up with said the established hive was over 40k strong.
Let me know. These could be way better than a NUC or package. You would want to bring extra top to stick on the bottom for transport for the 8 and the 10, the 10 has 1 hole with #8 screen so they can breath in transport.
