This is a first for me. One of my 27 hives is very agressive. This hive swarmed and requeened last year. It is probably my largest hive. I added some honey supers early thinking at was due to lack of space. That tactic did not work. Since this hive is on a working farm, I do not have time to requeen. Also, I do not want any drones carrying these genetics flying about and possibly ruining someone else's hive. I went ahead and just closed all the entrances. My apiary is now very quiet with no aggressive issues. It is sad to see such a large, productive hive having to meet its demise. Has anyone else had to deal with this issue?
