How long before a new bee hive has honey?

Answer 1

Bee's are constantly making honey from the nectar that they collect. The primary use of the honey is to provide them with food stores to over-winter. The "time" it takes to go from nectar to honey depends on the water content of the nectar. Once just the right amount of moisture has been evaporated the bees seal it up and store it away for future use.

Answer 2

It depends on how good a carpenter you are.

Answer 3

It depends on how much 'forage' is available near the hive.

Answer 4

couple of months
