Was around bees all my growing up years and took part in taking down several bee trees back then Had a couple uncles that had over 200 hives each I know absolutely nothing about them now and anyone nearby I could get advice from is dead now
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

Just got into it with one hive , double brood chamber , going to split next spring, have started making my own brood and super boxes. used to have 30 hives back in the 70's. and things have really changed since then. Yep, you didn’t have to worry with small hive beetles or Varroa mites back then. Now if you don’t treat for Varroa mites your bees will die.

This is great information. I'm gonna get into this when I retire soon.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Went through my new hive to me today, double brood chamber, they had already swarmed once this year, getting ready to swarm again, tore up 9 new queen cells few looked like were ready to hatch, quite few drone and drone cells ready to hatch, overall they looked good , had 4 large frames full of caped hone, there was capped honey around the outer edges of lot of the frames, did see small eggs , did not see queen but was not looking for her being that i was putting powdered sugar on bees and with no help. My 24 dollar question is how soon should I go back through them to look for new queen cells ? I do not want them to swarm again this year
