So i finally have my first lot of bees in the hive, and i have a hive lure sited next to a swarm, way up in an Oak, not sure i will be able to entice them out though, fingers crossed, tomorrow i will work my hive at home, i have to treat for Varro mite, pull all the frames and check for other such horrible diseases, honey stores and brood, which are littl bee cells. I will swap their feeder over and add more newly waxed frames to the hive, check to see if they are being sneaky and making queen cells and or drone cells, because i am very new to this my fantastic assistant will be taking millions of photos so i can look at things again when i dont have my hands full with thousands of bees. Woo and yes its fun |
