Greeting all, I'm about as new as a noob can be. I live in western new york. I have my starter kit from brushy( 2 deeps, 2 med, frames and covers), and nuc coming in april/may..
My first question for the forum( many more to come I'm sure)
1. What is the likelihood of a first year hive( from a 5 frame nuc) to swarm. Do I need to have a second hives body ready to split hives before it swarms ? What is the chances of it surviving a buffalo winter being a split/swarm hive?
Any info greatly appreciated, or redirects to info already in forum
Thank you,
