Hive Check [Package installed 4/16/22]

In this video I go through one of my hives in the apiary. This hive was a package of bees and an unmarked queen installed on 4/16/22. There is great debate on what is better, a package or a nuc? I prefer packages as the few nucs I have gotten over the years have been severely loaded with mites. With a package, there is a brood break that allows for treatment and mite fall to decrease the amount of mites in the hive. You will also see that even though the bees are calm, I do fully suit up as I have a severe reaction to stings. While I've yet to get stung in the last year and a half, the gloves do cause me to make mistakes! You will see a frame slip from my right hand in this video that stirs the bees up, but it does not induce them into a frenzy.
