I've been busy just "tweaking" the hive as it were.
In other words I've been messing with a good thing and about screwed it up! It's been a hard, long month waiting for the girls to arrive. I keep fiddeling with this and touching up that...well you know how it goes.
BUT...
Tomorrow is the day! I talked to the supplier and he says they are due in tomorrow after 5pm. I might actually get a break. For the last 4 days we've been in the middle of heavy thunderstorms and winds gusting to 45mph. NOT a good forcast for working with a package of bees!
But the weather broke today, and tomorrow's forecast is clear, calm and a high of 80! I have my fingers crossed.
Here is a shot of the hive finished and painted...and the Boardman Feeder inserted in to a moddified Division Board...
And here it is in the back yard...I'm testing the smoker...acually I'm testing ME because I'm sure the smoker works just fine...
NOW THE NAIL BITING STARTS...
