Each comb was about 6' long.
Not much honey.

I have 3 hives, and am buying 2 more nuts next month. My neighbor asked me to help him with his bees on Tuesday. The first three hives were just fine, and had no surprises. He then mentioned that the 4th and final hive was kinda bad....
I ended up getting a bee inside my veil, and after walking about 50’ away to open it up to remove her, several more bees popped me on my head. I dropped the jacket, and kept walking. Ended up with around 10 or so stings, and had to move 300 yards away to get away from them. The swelling is going down....haven’t spoken to my neighbor since...
Lol. It’s all good though.

bump

I've had that experience also. Probably hive does not have queen..... or maybe bad infestation of varrolla or hive beetles. My bet is on missing queen

Hey BeeKeepers! We have 25ish hives (it varies) and are near Austin! We love it! I'm sure i'm not the most knowledgeable on here but I'm happy to help if I can.

And a spare brood box...apparently. Boy swinging for the fences.
