Interested in bees. Thought about having some on my property. How far would the hive need to be from the homestead?

I've got 2 hives 75 feet from my back door - in a subdivision in Hoover. Three dogs in the back yard and they have learned not to go stick their noses in the entrance but other than that I haven't had any problems. I give the neighbors a couple of pounds of honey and everybody is happy.

The pollinators had 384 hives about 400 feet from the house this summer and we never get bit. No work for me and he brought me 8 cases of honey yesterday. You need a calm type bee tho.

Glad your work swarm made them a queen. Any idea what happend to your other hives queen? Did they swarm? I've got to dig in to my hives soon. I haven't opened some of them in a month.

no they didn't swarm i dont think. there were not many bees in there and they looked to be the same amount or so after she was gone.... it was another split.. she was laying good then gone the next check.

My buddy just texted me and another swarm box is full. Gonna move them to a hive next weekend. Maybe they will build up. I was planning on taking down my swarm traps around the first of July. How late do you guys leave them up?

I have already taken mine down. Recently though. You'll have to feed the heck out of that swarm. I caught one in early July last year, clustered on a mail box that made it over the winter and has done fine. I had to feed them all summer but it was a tiny swarm and that didn't take much syrup to do. They'll probably need pollen sub too.

finally! 8/8 on queens to hives.. one hive has a queen that is not laying very good. very sporadic and really not much. maybe its because she is new.. there is already some new queen cells so i think the bees know something i dont. other than that one, they are doing great it looks to be.. maybe this queen is just young and needs some time.. we will see.

The new Queen may not have been able to mate good with all this rain.
Where are the new cell? Are they it the bottom of the frame or from middle up.
At the bottom usually means swarm. If up high means they are try to replace her.
I would let them do they're thing.
Here's only bad thing about that. New queen has to go on mating flight and start lying eggs. Once egg is laid it takes 21 days to hatch.
Sometime they will get robbed out if the numbers get to low.
Good luck maybe they pull it off.

Well went into this hive today. Oh my goodness they are strong. There is not a missed piece of comb one without an egg or capped in it. She actually has two supers on top one being full with brood and the top half and Half with brood honey. Queen cells in it so guess we making a split tomorrow. Anyone see anything wrong with that.

Since they have swarm cells built, they will likely still swarm, even if you split them. I'd do a "shook swarm" on them, after you take your split out. You can watch a youtube video and see how it's done.
