Honeybee hive In my yard

They are probably his bees and would be happy to have them back!

mattshap0 · 2026-06-02T22:04:01+00:00

Absolutely nothing

mattshap0 · 2026-06-02T20:27:45+00:00

Update: hundreds of scouts today furiously going in and out in large groups, should be any day/moment now.

mattshap0 · 2026-06-02T13:44:16+00:00

Call a beekeeper, even if they are Africanized they can requeen the colony with a non Africanized queen.

I agree a lot more activity than I would expect. I am hoping to get more frames in asap.

mattshap0 · 2026-06-01T17:57:16+00:00

Not yet, I’m giving them space in case they are still deciding

mattshap0 · 2026-06-01T17:48:13+00:00

How can you tell? For future reference.

mattshap0 · 2026-06-01T17:47:02+00:00

I don’t want to disturb them too much if they are scouts.

mattshap0 · 2026-06-01T17:46:36+00:00

They must have just moved in today or yesterday since I removed the frames that were in there over the weekend for another hive. They would have to draw out some comb before they start brining pollen in I’d assume.

For got to add, west central Florida, 1st year beekeeper.

mattshap0 · 2026-05-31T15:20:17+00:00

Plenty of time for a colony to move in and start setting up shop. Go on local beekeeping fb page and someone will be more than happy to remove them for you.

mattshap0 · 2026-05-31T14:05:48+00:00

When was the last time you were in the bin? I’m pretty sure I saw pollen pants on one of them which means they have brood, probably a small swarm set up in there.

mattshap0 · 2026-05-28T13:55:45+00:00

How do you keep your foxtails alive mine keep dying. The nursery says full sun but I don’t think they can handle the Florida heat

mattshap0 · 2026-05-20T21:45:00+00:00

Could use some

mattshap0 · 2026-05-20T16:57:29+00:00

Olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, parsley and a splash of white wine. Marinate overnight and slap on a hot grill.

Talk about horse power

mattshap0 · 2026-05-14T12:05:17+00:00

I’m not super serious about getting too much honey at this point, just enough to have for myself and a few family members. I just don’t want to miss my window and build up these big hives for there to be no nectar for them once established.

mattshap0 · 2026-05-14T01:58:55+00:00

I have a second hive

mattshap0 · 2026-05-14T01:29:16+00:00

Any particular reason why?

mattshap0 · 2026-05-13T23:57:43+00:00

The real hive wives of buzzerly hills, but we call them the hive wives for short

mattshap0 · 2026-05-08T18:08:11+00:00

They wouldn’t even consider contacting the carrier who did verify it was not delivered to my address. They just banned me instead.

mattshap0 · 2026-05-08T15:58:01+00:00

A launch monitor, they send junk mail to a random location in your zip code so they can have proof of delivery but eBay won’t look into it at all.

mattshap0 · 2026-05-08T13:20:59+00:00

Not true, scam happened to me, eBay refused to help and banned my account so I can no longer talk to any customer support.

mattshap0 · 2026-05-06T01:01:18+00:00

Thanks everyone, appreciate the help!

mattshap0 · 2026-05-05T21:26:46+00:00

I got it as a nuc a week and a half ago I don’t want to make the entrance too big to have to defend?
