That queen is waited on by the worker bees. If there is no bees, Queen dies. Take the class, should be one fairly close to you.Wife has a fountain out front, I noticed a lot of bees there drinking. I started feeding them sugar water, the number of bees has grown to 700-800. When they leave that all go in the same direction thru the woods. The nearest neighbor is about a quarter mile in that direction, I don't know if they have bees or not.
I recently bought a bee keeper starter kit, with a 10 frame hive, etc. My question is if I buy a Queen will the bees go into the hive to her or will they go home to their mother queen?

The bees that are coming to the fountain will not go in your hive just because there is a queen in there. They are programmed to stay with their queen for their life. The best advice I can give you is to wait until the spring and buy a nuc from a local beekeeper.Wife has a fountain out front, I noticed a lot of bees there drinking.

You will be glad that you did. If you are raising bees, you are raising mites.I have started treating ours with apiguard and Oxalic over the last month. 1 hive had a large mite load
