The number of bees is probably about what one should expect from a second year hive. My other hive (first winter) has less bees - more Varroa problems. I am not thinking of requeening but rather of dealing with Varroa. Craig, you may need to address both issues, especially if your Grant Park hive is coming through its first winter. Many beekeepers requeen every year (usually in the fall).Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-19533002062296217352008-02-19T01:16:00.000-05:002008-02-19T01:16:00.000-05:00is the brood box pretty full at this point? ours i...is the brood box pretty full at this point? ours is mostly empty, and we're also in atlanta (grant park). we're wondering about requeening...<BR/><BR/>craigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-79756407117204827982008-02-16T08:15:00.000-05:002008-02-16T08:15:00.000-05:00Linda:Wow!

I am super impressed with and also am pleased you posted that poem. I also love the "bee-loud glade" phrase - it has been in my head for many years as I mentioned. So glad to have visited with you and think this blog is terrific. Here's to two hives full of bees!<BR/>Love,<BR/>Your sister BethBeth Tillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669430652298289962noreply@blogger.com
