I like to start keeping bees in spring 2022…

Two swarms today. This was the second one.

Did you caught them?

Did you caught them?

Temporarily. I have nowhere to put any more bees. They took off before the woman could come get them.

There have been times when we are super busy and do not have time to split a colony that is bursting at the seams...and we have actually stacked 5+ supers on colonies...it doesn't hurt, but over the years I started to notice a pattern where some of the super large colonies began to get hot [aggressive]. I no longer like to do triples, quads, or 5-6 boxes stacked on a super colony. They simply get way to strong and aggressive...

They simply get way to strong and aggressive...

Bees aren't aggressive they become more defensive. I think in the case of large colonies they seem more defensive. But the reality is the larger the colony the more guard bees they have to defend the healthy colony.
