I picked up four Caniolan Queens on eBay, just to see what they were like.
I have ten Hives, and was going to make up two nucs by schwicking the
requisite frames of brood/honey/pollen from amongst the strongest colonies.
Instead of a Nuc box however, I was going to reduce the size of a hive body
with wood panels, that way I can expand the hive as their streghn increases.
This winter I will make up some nuc hardware when I am doing the other
woodworking. (Comments?)
The other two queens are going to be used to re-queen two hives. Around
here, fall splits are done, and usually overwintered in a protected area. A
friened of mine usually has a few on his front porch every year, and these
do well.
