Week 13 - Laying Workers and Combining Colonies!
I'm a new beekeeper this year and this video covers the inspection of my two backyard hives that I started on April 4th, 2020. On my 13th week of inspections, in my weaker hive, I have discovered that I have a laying worker issue that needs to be fixed ASAP. I make a decision to combine my two colonies to save some bees. Enjoy!
As mentioned in the video, here are some links to local beekeeping businesses that I owe a great deal of thanks to for their support:
