RE: The Importance of having more than one Bee colony
I agree. Having a few full size colonies and a couple of nucs is a good starting size for beeks who want to be self sufficient. The problem is that once you stop losing hives they multiply so fast.
You're exactly right I always found it hard to keep just a few I doubled my count this yr and didn't even try
Same here. I overwintered 4, 1 was eaten by a bear, I gave 1 away - now I have 7. That is fancy math.
