Bees

Last week Uncle Ryan and Grandma opened up the beehive, removed the old honey and put a bee phermone into the upper hive. The smell attracts bees to hives, so we are hoping to catch a swarm and have another active hive.

 Well guess what? The phermone did attract a new queen and we got a small swarm inside the hive. Eric shows the bees surrounding the queen on the frame.

 Grandma tells Eric how to remove the clump of bees from the frame and put them into the top of the honey super. It worked, so hopefully the bees will be happy and not leave their new home.
