Metropolis of Propolis II - Episode 27 - New Hive Installation April 2025

I set up 3 new beehives and bought 3 packages of bees from R Weaver company in Navasota. Today I'm going to show one method of installing bees that does not involve shaking bees into the hive. No spraying of bees, no swarms of bees all around. This part is very smooth and easy. It's after a day or so when you open the hive and take out the shipping box that is a little more prone to having bees all over the place, but still not as chaotic as shaking wet bees into a hive body and hoping the ones flying around find their way into the entrance before nightfall. I also found that by blocking off the entrance completely for a couple of days, it forces the bees to acclimate to their new home, and results in less probability of absconding the first day. Don't ask me how I know!
