RE: Today’s Adventure: Building a bee hive with hand tools and scrap wood.
Interesting project. Hopefully the bees will come over and live in it. But, don't you need to put a queen bee in there so the other types of bees will be attracted. Anyways I don't know how it all works, keep us updated on how it goes :)
If I’m lucky I’ll be able to attract a swarm, and get them to set up shop inside. The queen must be there for sure. Some people do order the starter “nuclei,” but I’m aiming for what @nicksikorski accomplished, luring a wild swarm into his own hive.
