I will be paying for my bees in a week or so and look forward to starting my first hives in April. How long before my bees are ready for pickup should I set out my hives and what spacing should I put between them. Right now they are assembled, painted and standing in my living room. That isn’t a problem; my wife is as excited about this as I am.

Do you scrape off or remove broken comb? Do you sanitize (with what and how)?

I love honey and understand the importance of our bees. I am curious as to how many hives you have? I was also wondering, how much space I would need to safely have 2-3 hives? Soon I will be moving and I am hoping to have at least 3 acres.
Thanks for sharing your story.

The only thing I might add is that when I harvest honey in the early fall, I also bring out pre-opened Mite Away strips so that I can treat the hives without opening again. This way I disturb the bees only once for both a honey harvest and fall varroa mite treatment application.

I’ve made some candles using 100% beeswax and even though I’ve primed the wick
beforehand, and filtered the wax, the candles do not burn sufficiently. They produce a
very small flame. What might I be doing wrong? Your suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Ken
