another 2 packages coming on the 30th of the month

shakerbeeman · April 21, 2007, 08:29:23 PM

Nucs on order and packets also. Will have my first two by mid May and already know I want to develop many more.

LET-CA · April 21, 2007, 09:36:42 PM

Four now. Plan to add one more this year and hold at five. Three in my back yard and two at a small farm a mile from my home. Right now all four of the existing are in my yard and going like gangbusters!

buzzbee · April 21, 2007, 09:45:21 PM

We've got three hives plus an observation hive so four total I guess!

Kirk-o · April 21, 2007, 09:56:00 PM

I have 22.

LocustHoney · April 21, 2007, 10:09:57 PM

Just split to make 4. Hope they all turn out.

asprince · April 21, 2007, 10:31:00 PM

I have three. One I removed from a rental house that I purchased last summer and two new packages this year. All three in different locations. Steve

reinbeau · April 21, 2007, 10:45:46 PM

Right now we have three, due to the death of one package, but we've just brought a hive over to a club member who will put a swarm in it for us as soon as that happens around here (we're actually third on the list).

We'll have three more hives up in Maine in mid-May.

So, put us down for seven.

I don't have any now but I want to have 2-5 when I can. Does that count????
