I'm at the same point. I'll turn 75 next year and been trying to keep up with 40 to 50 hives but those boxes seem to get heavier every year. Do I order queens and split survivors to try some of these new genetics everyone talks about, gamble on swarms, packages, nucs? Hope your personal issues all work out well. Seems to come with this age. Glenn
There is just something magical about putting in and watching new bees and I think you made the point very well.

After all the years in bees, still ordering packages every year. Ridiculous.
I thought this until he gave his reasoning. Either you didn't listen that long, or you can't stand but to be over opinionated
