The Bees have arrived!!! We made it through winter with one hive, though decided to supplment it with 2 more. We picked up the 2 packages of bees and installed them in their new home.

 

This is a 4 pound package, they say there is about 15,000-20,0000 bees in a 4 pound package.

 

 

Here we are removing the Queen from the package. She is in her own cage and has a cork holding her in. We replaces the cork with a part of a pollen patty, this will allow the bees to get used to her and then heat away the pollen and set her free.

 

 

Here is the package with the feeder can ready to come out and to put into the hive.

 

 

Off with the feeder can and lets show these bees their new home!

 

Make sure they have pleandy of food and give them a bit to adjust to their new home!
