Well I am back in the Bee business...thanks to my ex husband, Ken! He offered to buy me a hive of bees if I would help him with his. What a deal!!
The bees arrived via U.S.Postal Service all the way from Kentucky...I received a call at 5:50 AM saying they were in and I could come pick them up....this is 2 hives that came crated together. About 2 pounds of bees per box. They have been in here for 3 days and there is sugar water inside in a can to keep them alive. The Queen Bee is in her separate box. I had their home all ready for them.
I checked them today and they are drawing out the comb and have even put honey in some...others are capped off with brood inside where the Queen has laid eggs and waiting for new babies to be born!
