Hello all,
About a month ago I posted the question "Now what did I do wrong", thanks to all for the replies. Now for a couple more questions. Of the 4 packages that I installed ( A B C & D), originally the bees from B went to A and the bees from D went to C. Ok, bad queens or whatever reason, they moved. I purchased 2 Nucs to replace them (determined to make this work). On hives A & C they have 2 deeps and 1 medium by this point. However, (finally comes the question) hives B & D are struggling along, C has 2 deeps and D still just 1 with 4 full empty frames. Is it time to requeen? Take brood from A & C and put into B & D? I'm in NH and don't have a long season to try alot of tricks. I hope that I have given enough info and not bored ya to tears. One other question while I'm at it. Are there standars in place as to what qualifies as a hive for pollination? ie. 3 frames of brood, etc. Can it be 1st year bees or is it better for 2nd and on?
Thanks for listening
Dave
