Installation of the bees begins!!! (Lindsey, Caleb, Mr. Evans)
Here Lindsey takes the first step in introducing her bees to their new home! Step 2: Shake the bees into the hive
Mr. Evans gives them one last helpful shake to ensure every bee is out. Now she has to make sure the lid is on to complete her very first hive!
Caleb’s getting ready to recover a hive Now to get the smoker ready
They had to remove a few boards to get to the hive itself. The first of the bees to be removed w/ the comb.
Caleb is prepping the screens. By using the existing comb they hoped the bees would stay after being taken somewhere new.
THE RECOVERY MISSION BEGINS! That’s a lot of bees!!
They found the Queen! They make sure each screen is in properly then check to see if they got every bee possible.
