I have had good success so far with 2 hives started with packages installed @6 weeks ago. Have come up with another hive and can get bees from GA. around the 12th of June. Forgoing any honey expectations, can i get a healthy hive established that will survive the winter? Or should I just wait till next spring and start with packages again. Added a deep to both my hives last week and checked them today. Building new comb on 2 or 3 frames in both upper supers. I am very pleased, especially with the attitude of the bees. They are very easy to be around, I can't believe the are so gentle. Thanks in advance for your help. All of your input was appreciated on my feeding question a few weeks ago and I am confident you'll come through again. mb
