[QUOTE="kaihoka, post: 6069, member: 124"] Dont be discouraged when things go wrong . It takes a while to get a feel for how bees will behave in your area . Also avoid being tempted to use secondhand gear that someone kindly offers. I gave a friend a nuc a couple of yrs ago who wanted to get back into bee keeping. He had had bees before varroa . He put my nuc in a new box but wanted to multiply up and was given gear by someone whoses hives had died . From varroa he was told . But my friends hives got sick and died so he has burnt all his gear . He will only use new stuff now . He was not part of a group . Having contact with experienced people will make it a lot easier for you to avoid mistakes . [/QUOTE]
