A few days before Christmas, 2016, I'm thinking forward to spring and the bees that have been ordered. Next year, I will have two hives. I ordered two Nucs so that I'm sure I'll have two. I tried to increase the number of hives for a few years and lost the hives for one reason or another.
Once I have two hives, I do hope it helps me to fix problems before they are too large to be fixed. If one hive becomes weak, and the other strong, I can move bees from one to the other to help strengthen the hive, as one example. It just is good to have at least one other hive to compare.
I have the equipment for two hives and some extra frames. I'm looking forward to a new year.
