I put in two hives(one package bees, the other a captured wild swarm) on two
different farms this spring.  A friend started 4 hives of package bees at
the same time.  The package bees were ordered from the same supplier.  My
hives seem to be stronger than his (we are both feeding at the same rate).
Is it easier for my bees to thrive because they have less competition?  If
so, how do the big guys do it with numerous hives in the same yard?
