I hived my new package of bees about 2 hours ago. A couple days ago I met a beekeeper completely on a fluke and he offered to come over and help with the install. He mainly guided me along verbally. I'm happy considering the bees are settled in their new home and didn't take off. Things didn't EXACTLY go like I was hoping. I watched that U of M video over and over and over and I thought it would be perfect just like that but we had trouble getting the sugar feeder can out of the box. It was in kind of deep and it took some poking and prodding and my guide took over and finally got it out. The bees were anxious and tons were flying all over my body and around my head. I was shocked to find that I wasn't nervous at all. I was so focussed on following all the steps that I didn't worry about being stung.
It was funny to see the neighbors come out to watch using binoculars. LOL!
