Author: Tamara Potter
Planning Unit: Entomology
Major Program: Beekeeping
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Describe the Issue or Situation. Beginner Beekeepers may feel sympathetic about their first-year hives and not want to combine a colony that has too few bees, thinking he or she may be able to coax it through the winter. My article encourages the beginner beekeeper to think of the entire hive, that it takes a lot of bees to produce a lot of young bees in the spring. Instructions are included in the article.
