At Construction Junction in Pittsburgh, I got a swank blue bathroom sink for $10! What plans do I have for it? Oh, they're bee-related, but you have to wait and see, wait and see.... |
The amazing sculpture, made from one solid wooden tree trunk, at Bedillion's Farm, along Route 18 in Hickory, PA--our excellent bee suppliers! Read their blog here! |
The nuc box--filled to the gills with bees--in the back seat of Michael's car. |
Glenn sprays the hive super with sugar water. |
Glenn holds a frame from the strong hive. |
Michael gets the smoker going. |
Michael brushes the weak bees from the frames. |
Glenn does the same. |
In the strong hive, bees enter with pollen in their baskets. |
Michael and Glenn remove the nuc frames for transport to their new home. |
Glenn inserts the first nuc frame. |
Glenn continues to insert the nuc frames. |
Oh no! We left the frame holder on the hive....we have to retrieve it...Michael is down with a sting at his ankle, but he goes back to pick up the hive body so I can get the frame hanger out. |
You can't see them, but the bees are ticked! They're flying around like mad. |
Michael checks out one of the old frames. |
Glenn, too, checks out the old frames. |
Resting on Bee Hill, after replacing the weak hive with a new nuc. |
Two ladies check out the old frames. |
