[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1436225, member: 3162"] California queen in one was added mid may to establish a new hive. It is two boxes, 10 frames each box. East Texas Italian queen in the other is about a week younger. Two boxes, 10 frames each box for that one was well. The East Texas bunch were the biggest numbers. California has now surpassed their numbers. I am feeding because the hives are relatively young and I am getting them established. When we added the 2nd box and rotated frames, bees with pollen on their legs were everywhere. I've got all those berries on trellises plus I have all the peach trees. 3 years ago I had no bees pollinating. That is when I committed to getting my own hives. The last two years feral bees have pollinated but I should be in really good shape next year. Bee Keeping is the wife's thing. Big family tradition for her. So I got bees. I am expecting around 350 gallons of berries again next year. Bees make it a win/win. Nothing more. Two hives is plenty. [/QUOTE]
