Newbies...make that new bees!

Tomorrow's "shipping" day. The new bees I ordered from Rossman Apiaries will be shipped out to me via Priority Mail. (Hopefully, there is no significance to Friday the 13th in this case.) The new girls should arrive here Monday or Tuesday.

In preparation for their arrival, I watched the Brushy Mountain DVD for beginners again, paying special attention to the segment on how to install packaged bees. The hive is painted and ready in its place out in the back yard. All that's left to do is make a batch of sugar syrup on Monday for spraying the bees down and then feeding them.

Pictures to come after installation next week.
