  • Hey Folks, equalizing hives today and took my first sting of the season. Came out of winter pretty strong. Only 2 deadouts out of 14 leaving us with a dozen colonies to work with. Lost audio when mic battery died. Still trying to learn how to make videos for y'all. Thank you for your patience. Will be splitting hives soon so stay tuned for more. Thank you kindly for tuning in!!

      Thank you kindly, Mike! I initially started using the dog food bag inner covers in swarm traps. Bees seem to like 'em. Cheap and effective.
