Old Speckled Hen Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 OK I've pinched this from another forum but have a look at your supers. One of my colonies have filled a super in three days and not on OSR Quick check, outwith the weekly inspections,is called for I think.

Olly Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Since I've been feeding mine up until this weekend, I have assumed they won't need supering for a bit - maybe I'd better check them tomorrow night! That's amazingly quick. Bees round here are swarming like mad, I know that. Thanks for the warning, OSH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 We've been adding supers left right and centre since the weather warmed up. Lack of space to store nectar is one of the triggers for swarming so it pays to be ahead of the bees. *off to make up more supers* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
