Hello all!! A quick question: My county bee inspector checked my hives this past weekend and advised me to requeen my failing Yugo hive, as it is very weak, especially compared to my Buckfast hive. When would be the best time to requeen? Now, so she can build up the colony for overwintering, or early fall, to take advantage of the fall flow?? This hive isn't doing me much good right now anyways, so I'd definitely appreciate some advice!!! Thanks, Kevin Palm -- Kevin R.
