Hello all.
At the beginning of May I received my 6 frame nucleus, with a big fat queen, never seen one so big before, mind you I only started last year beekeeping , but anyways it was doing so well. Couple of weeks after moved them to their hive I’ve added the super cause their were building like crazy.
I have checked them over the weekend and I was prepared to get some honey out of em, however they haven’t touched the super at all, there is quite a few frames with capped honey in there mixed with brood (brood box), all the frames from my brood box are full either with brood or honey.The queen seems rather slim now and just little new egg laying. It’s jut I thought that after so nice hot weather and the rapeseed’s been in bloom and like everywhere they will have produced loads of capped honey frames in my super.
I was gutted to be honest.I had such high hopes from that nucleus.
I have two more hives which I think they have both swarmed last month and basically they just started all over again.
I suppose there is no chance to get any honey from them lot this year.
