WH#1 New Queen Install

Posted on June 3, 2017 by smeadr

So I went up to Alton NH to pick up my new Queen and then headed back to get her in the hive as she had no attendants. 

I get home and get her installed, I decide to leave the cork in her cage overnight so I can see how they are reacting to her Sunday. I pull the in hive feeder, wedge her in between two frames, screen up. Then install the bottle feeder I got from the guy I got the Queen from and close it up. Will check her tomorrow and if doing well I’ll put the candy in so the bees 🐝 can work to release her.

Oh and the most important thing, her majesty Margaret!  So we have Maggie (the hybrid) & Evelyn now.
