New Beginnings

29-Mar-2016
Unpackaging 6 pounds of bees!  This is me removing the queen cage from Hive #1 (Queen Mot)

Struggling with the metal plate over the candy...Wearing gloves may be good for my hands but it’s definitely a pain to work with them on.  Once the queen cage was suspended in the hive (via rubberband)...

Shake. Them. Out.  You haven’t lived til you’ve heard a mass of bees upset by being thrown out of the only home they’ve known.  

Time for the wife to take a selfie.


Repeat above steps til Hive #2 (Queen Hai) is set up as well.  We promise that the next time we take pictures it’ll be with something a little better than a camera phone :p
