    Im sorry, i need to correct myself on what i said.I didnt mean to say that bee swarms will build queen cells rite away.They will swarm more frequently then other bees that were not from a swarm.Thats what a pro beekeeper told me anyways.

    I’m also a learning beekeeper so i dont know everything.

    God Bless,

    Hello, Afracanized bees will get meaner as the family gets bigger.The queen is hard to spot , if there is brood then she is there.She hasnt biult cells or cups because shes not ready for swarming.

    Hello,
    Are you willing to save money?You can catch a bee swarm for free instead of $adopting one.Just a thought,You can read about catching a bee swarm at the topic ——Baited hive. Next steps?

    🙂 I am happy for you!Afracanized bees are nice when they are a small colony.When they get bigger they start surprising you.When you open the hive to inspect try to find the queen.If you find her rip off the queen cups and queen cells.If they have cups and cells we put another hive box on top so that they dont want to swarm and have more space to build..

    I understand that some people are rich and can pay for a suit in no time, but i bought mine after i got bees but got atleast 15 stings before i got it.The bee venom is very healthy for you, the bees dont charge money.

    Ok Susan, I have experience with feral bees.If you dont know that feral bees will bee afracanized(killer bees).A bee swarm will have a just mated queen and she will lay eggs right away.Bee swarms will build queen cells rite away because they are used to swarming.The only thing you can do about that is by changing that Queen with a european bee(i suggest).I have afracanized bees, they will sting thru your suit if your without a smoker. i got stung on my hand 10 times and my hand couldnt fit into the glove.Afracanizwd bees will kill if your without a suit.

    Hello everybody,
    To have less bees drown in your pool you can buy a entrance feeder and put water in it and the bees will drink water from there.What we do is put alot of buckets out with water in them and a sponge floating in each.Its been said that chlorine attracts bees and the salt pools salt also attracts bees.Chlorine and salt is not healthy for your bees.But just in case the bees go in to your pool have a big sponge for them to land on safely and to drink fome instead of diving in and forgeting they cant swim.

    God Bless,
    Elisha
