2 Laying Worker hives
Hello All. I need a little help. I have only 2 hives, and both have been queenless for close to 3 weeks. I believe I now have a laying worker in both hives. I saw a technique on youtube by Jason Chrisman, where He put a new box in the old hive's location, but set inside only a frame with queen-right brood and dumped all the bees in front of the hive and let them all walk back in.

Hey everyone. I'm now to the point where I am ready to start keeping bees. I intend to start out with Langstroth hives, but do not yet have a kit, boxes or frames. Anyone wanting to offload any?

I became a member to abqbeeks as of yesterday, and will be attending the mentoring event this weekend. 505-845-9286, or after work hours at…
