Hives Hives Nucs and more

What a crazy few weeks I have run out of deeps, run out of wax foundation, run out of frames, and yet still more bees are coming out needing new homes. Had to provide brood frames to a few hives to make new queens, Allen's hive lost their queen , one of the Scout Hives lost their queen, pulled a frame for the original trap out, and the new trap out Lol

Helped Wally on a trap out, filled 5 frames in 2 days......



Will deliver a 10 frame box tomorrow to take its place .... Helped on a swarm on a chimney, well in a chimney firstly, then on the chimney a few days later, they refused to leave.

Removed supers full of honey, added supers of new foundation, added super to a 5 frame nuc too (making a 10 frame dble decker) , will have to make another 5 frame super for that nuc hive Back in the shop, I am scrambling, have built another 4 nucs,




2 full hives , tops and bottoms, need 3 more.... I have so much sawdust that I have had to clean up, and get a dust system ,but building my own to save money.
