Thanks, I think its pollen too. I've been going solo with the 2 hives so this website is great. MrJeff, my 7 month pregnant wife and daughter picked up our bees at the same farm as you. When she got home she told me how calm the hobo bees were that landed on her. She thought that I wouldn't need any protective gear to install packages. I was nervous and put the gear on anyways. First package went in so smoothly I took off my right hand glove to remove queen cage on the second. Quess where I got stung? Anyways I'll be hitting you guys up for advise going forward.
