It has finally happened. I got my first delivery if bees today. It is a nucleus hive from my mentor Larry. He brought them over tonight and we placed them on top of the hive body that they will be transferred into. They were buzzing a little and when we opened the front, about eight of them came to the entrance. That is a good sign. Unfortunately it is too cold to transfer them to the hive body. With any luck I a can do it tomorrow. I will be sure to post pictures and hopefully a video of the transfer. I am super excited as the hobby has begun in earnest now. Pretty soon I will be posting videos of hive inspections and bee activity. Stay tuned and follow along.
