Tuesday May 10, bee day! Went and picked the bees up today. Lots of bees flying around but no one was stung while we were there. According to the people there it had only been about 48 hours since the bees were put into the boxes. Installing the bees went about as planned. I hung the queen cage between the # 5 and # 6 top bar. After I shook the bees in I leaned the box against the hive leg and all of the rest of the bees began to climb the leg and get into the hive. I wore the bee veil and my gloves, but I really did not have to. The bees were not interested in us at all.
