Swarm for Resource Nuc April 5, 2024
On April 5, a hive in my apiary that has already swarmed twice previously, swarmed for a third time. This means that it is a swarm with a virgin queen. I gave the first swarm to a new beekeeper and the second to a beekeeper whose hives had both died over the winter. I decided to keep this swarm as a resource nuc. I enjoyed catching it by setting a nuc hive beside the swarm and just letting them move in on their own.
