How do I populate my Warré hive with bees?
|
The easiest way would be to obtain a swarm - talk to your local beekeeping association as they probably maintain a list of beekeepers looking for swarms. If you decide to wait for a swarm it's worth putting your hive in position as swarms sometimes move into unoccupied hives on their own. If you buy a nucleus of bees or are transferring bees from another hive you will need to make an adapter board so that they move down into the Warré hive - let us know if you'd like us to help with this. |
