We picked up the bees on Friday, and got them installed into the hive. Listening to a box of bees was very interesting- they are very loud. Installing the bees was a non event , as it took longer to get suited up, light the smoker, etc than it did to shake them out of the box. Since we sprayed them, before opening the box they just fell into the hive in large quantiites. The queen was alos inserted- hopefully the workers, and the drones have accepted the queen. Throughout the weekend, we would watch the bee -very interesting. We will open the hive later today to check the food level, and see if the queen has been released from the cage.
