Hello, Fantastic ! Really enjoyed ! Good week my friend

[@bobbysbeez]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.

we have had a few swarms this year. evan though we took 2 or 3 splits per hive. The bee's seem to be growing fast this year. Nuc sales have been good. Have a great week Bobby.

[@bobbysbeez]

Same here. Such a mild winter has them amped up and producing like crazy.

So, how do you feel merging colonies without paper works out? How's the carnage? Does honey production or brood rearing seem to suffer at all? Thanks

[@bobbysbeez]

Good question. Nothings for sure but I've seen success with smoking heavily and setting a queenless hive on top. I feel confident they'll become a strong hive. The queenless hive smells the fresh brood and in most cases quickly accepts the queen with minimal fighting. Now if the hive was queen right and I just pinched the queen( in the fall for example) that hive has brood and the queens pheromone will still be present for a short while. I wouldn't feel confident about adding a box of bees or a colony rather to another box without paper.
