Well winter has come and gone and my two hives have done well. The hives are very active and queens are busy laying. Took on a side job of removing bees from a dead tree. Doesn't sound to hard untile you actually take on the task. Notched the tree so as not to fall over a fence, tied chains to pull the tree with a tractor in the direction we wanted. All went well with bringing the tree down, but now had to cut the bees out and put into a five fram nuc box. Found the queen so all the bees followed her into the nuc box. Bees may have been on their last year, not strong at all. Hope to let them build up and hive them in ten fram box at a later date.
