What to do with Queenless hives..

Here is a look at the hives today. We are up to 15 at the moment because we have had so many swarms. Bees get overcrowded especially when it's hot. You can split a hive when it gets too large, but they don't wait for that to happen. The last 2 swarms happened in between rain storms.

Y'all, we went from mostly in ground gardening to raised beds this year. We have had different challenges switching to this method, but we feel like this is what we needed to do. We did plant potatoes and okra in ground, but eliminated planting corn this year. Everything else is in a raised bed.
