• Should you invest in “fancy” bee packages from top-tier suppliers like Randy Oliver and Michael Palmer?
• When starting a new hive, is it better to buy a queen in early spring or let your bees do the work?
• What happens when you put swarm cells in a nuc? Will the queens fight it out, and how can you manage mated queens until you're ready to use or sell them?
