So sorry, rgennaro.
I had one hive earlier in the year (before getting two more nucs).
It was a great hive of beautiful golden Italians, just bursting at the seams after being installed the previous spring.
It swarmed.
Well, my mom had a terrible fall and after a painful struggle passed away.
So, I was not attentive to my hive and it got into a bad way, requiring a long and tedious rescue operation. Looks like it worked but on Friday I found out what happened to the other bees.
The exterminators were just down the street from my house -- they were killing my bees from the earlier swarm. :-(
