as a new bee keeper here in Wisconsin with 2 hives that i started may1st.
should i expect to retreive any honey this first year? i ordered a italian
queen and 6000 bees there seems to be a lot of action. to my dismay when i
lift the cover there are a lot of earwigs on top of the frames. what can i do
to get rid of them buggers i hate em.. i never had bees before and is it
common for them to be so nice to me. when i am around them or open the cover
they really dont go after me have i got tame bees or just lucky? thank you
kindly regards Jerry
