Our goal is somewhat modest for the new apiary. For the "main" yard, we need to have at least 10 KTBH's built and at least 1 Warre hive built and ready by Spring.
We have two bee handlers ready and waiting for a bit of training on procedures, policies, etc.. which will also happen over the winter. Hopefully we can line up a couple more. basically then just waiting for Spring to kick in and get right to work with swarm captures, cut outs, transfer to new hives, build swarm catch hives/boxes and inspect/observe/document.
Boatloads of reading, reading, then a little bit more reading.
