I like to run between 40-50 hives, the rest go to friends. I also set new beeks up.

That palm swarm looke very good. How are they doing?

JP · May 21, 2009, 10:40:35 AM

The palm swarm was given to my friend Bailey in Raceland, Louisiana. I can only guess that they are doing fine. As far as I know, he added a medium and some feed as they barely fit inside the deep I put them in.
