I am assuming since this was posted almost a year ago that the 3 lbs are fine. Is this correct? We lost our Warre's (2) this year but we believe it was because the swarms were small. The local association has 3lb packagaes and we were not sure if the 3 was sufficient. Thank you I have heard or read that it is necessary to start with 4 lbs of bees instead of 3.
