We picked up our third nuc of bees this past Thursday night from the Oxbow Meadows Environmental Center down in Columbus... we had ordered it from the Chattahoochee Bee Keepers club a few weeks ago. We met them around 10:00pm and then drove them back to Pine Mountain in the bed of the pickup all 40+ miles... and then had to take them over to the farm to be set on top of their permanent box location. It was a super long day!!
Today Hubby transferred that third hive of bees from their "RV" travel box into their permanent box. He also removed the top feeders off of the other two hives since the nectar flow is decent right now in the world. All of these seem like such pain-staking, time-consuming tasks when watching Hubby do the work. Just glad he did not get stung today!
