Hello all,
I live in NC and used to keep bees in the 70s and early 80s as a hobby. Back then the only problem we had was reducing swarming. Things have certainly changed.
I bought two packages and one nuc this spring. Lost one of the packages which came with a drone laying queen. Requeened it, but they were too weak and SHB took them down. The other two are strong going into our mild winter. I have been purchasing equipment and hope to have several more hives next year.
Thanks for adding me to your group.
Rodney
