Installed Friday Night

[Hambone]

Installed my package Friday night. Went great. I could not make myself do a free release. I am going back out tonight to check and see if she was relreased, and do it if she was not. And to change the baggie feeder. I went out on Saturday and just watched them for a while. Lots of flying activity. There was a bunch that would land on the grass and do some weird dancing around. All seems to be good.

Good deal!!!...I'll be happy to see them myself... My wife works at the Lowes in Mabank, and she is going to be getting me some 1x12's , so I can get a couple built for myself....Bravo!...I tip my hat to you.

Here's the pics. The first three are from the install Friday night. The last one where I have the yellow glove on is from tonight. See the comb! I have the hive shut of to about 12 bars. And I had comb on at least three. The Queen was not released. So I let her out. Not bad for my first three days! O. And those yellow rubber gloves are not sting proof. I got hit once releasing the queen.

Hey LtlWilli,

Anytime you want to come see my TBH let me know. I through mine together on a two weekend rush. It is not near as nice as I want it to be. I plan on taking my time this year and building some nice TBH's for next year. Also, on the feed. I filled my first 1 gal zip lock 3/4 with syrup. And when I layed it down and cut the slits, it spilled all over the place. Tonight I did half full. And zero spilled.
