Anybody getting ready for spring 2023 apiary work?
This weekend I bought 2 full double deep brood hive setups so I have places for splits. Also got a dozen medium supers, frames and foundation for all. Got put on the list to be called for swarm removal around my area. Bought a few pounds of wildflower seeds to cover the island in my new pond.
I've got some assembly and paint work to do then I'm ready for spring. I hope to expand to 6 hives and be able to harvest 100-200 lbs of honey in 2023. Right now I have 3 living hives, 2 of which are very strong. Once I get my new components assembled I will have 3 hives and 2 nucs ready to be moved into. I should have plenty of room for splits.
I run all langstroth hives right now. I know CloverKnoll uses horizontal hives. I may build 1 or 2 of those for 2024 if If I reach my goal for this year.
