Name #3 the Gypsy hive.

[@beefitbeekeeping]

I love that! That is what we will be calling her ☺️

[@waynebecker7565]

I caught a swarm begining of june in a box that had mouse damage theycleaned it up and now working on the second box

[@beefitbeekeeping]

It sure is amazing what bees can do, especially with all of the swarming we saw this year!

[@rockhoundhunter6973]

Since hive #2 is about to explode with that absolutely gorgeous brood pattern! I liked the name boosted it fits the queen....lol ol yea i wanted to say Thank you for all your hard work bringing us all your knowledge in these video's! Keep following your dream and nobody will slow you down.. again thank you so much.

[@drast1cone42]

Could the interest in swarming have to do with the strength of queen pheromone? weaker in the smaller colony.

[@hootervillehoneybees8664]

Those are looking good... You need any more jester boxes guy has 200 for 4.00 each .. they are used but still in good shape.. he's up in port Huron

[@god910]

Where should you put them? I feel like my property is pretty reasonable. 😂

[@wesleybryant7839]

Isn't it amazing how attached and personal we get with our hives especially our queens. I had a strong hive get slimmed this week, and it ruined my whole week.

[@beefitbeekeeping]

It truly is, we only want the best for our bees. WOW! Slimmed out hives are probably my biggest heart break to see happen to a hive. I had a real hatred for small hive beetles after seeing what they did to a couple of my hives last year. I hope you are able to get the hives cleaned up and ready for new residents!! Sending lots of love to ya!
