Installing a Package
















Bees came to Post Office this morning and I got the call to please come and get them. Installed around noon when it started to warm up. Sprayed them down good with sugar water. Took queen cage out of package to see her condition and all was well. Put a small hole in candy end of cage so other bees will have a easy time getting her out. Placed the cage between frames and then dumped bees in, three pounds is a lot of bees. They were very calm no problems. Put jar feeder on and closed up hive. Will check on queen to see if she is out in a few days. Put cage in front of hive so those that stayed in can come out later.
