Well I got permission to set a swarm box out over at my Uncles house. Going this week to get Pheromone and a swarm trap. These bees have been in a old milk pallor for the longest time. I know they have been there before I was born, which is over 30 years.
This is a good sign that they are resistant to disease and mites. This also means they produce very good queens.
I plan on either giving the swarm to my other Uncle that has a Top Bar Hive, if he doesn't have an bees in his hive already or keeping them for myself and trying to produce a few queens from these bees. I would love to try some of these bees.
Keeping my fingers crossed and hope they swarm!!
