I got my first nuc on Memorial Day Weekend last year. Survived the winter.
And in the last 2 weeks I have seen, caught, and hived 3 swarms so my bee yard has grown.
Having a great time in South Eastern PA
Congratulations, I wish you continued success in the expansion of your bee yard. How many hives do you want to end up with? I started the year with 2, lost one and I am up to 6. My goal is 10 or 12 by the end of the year and maybe 20 by next year. Don't really have a plan but retirement is maybe 10 years away and building it up now so that I will have something to keep me busy later on and maybe provide a little extra spending money.

Good going Jessie, and may you continue with good luck.

Great news Jesse... I am am yet to see my first swarm and I am just one county over from you. Again good luck and have a great year!
Thanks for the support.
As to the swarms they were just all dumb luck. 10 minits in either direction and I would have had no idea they happened. Also the ability to make new boxes and bottom boards on the fly helps.
