Finally got into the mid-50's but blowing 15 gusting 30 mph, hell I can do it--1st wrong move. The safari helmet only wants to blow in my way, my Wal-Mart bifocals (Should be tri) and I'm having a hell of a time focusing. Well at least my spray bottle is working so I hit all the frames except the queen one near bottom only. All the staples come out like they're #60 ring shanks except for the one in the queen cage, it comes off and box falls down in the bottom of the package. So I get that out and wedge it between the two center frames----yeah, wouldn't you know it, it falls down to the bottom board. Well leave it there, so I dump the package on the frames and work them in nice put my two warm mason jars of 1:1 and a qt baggie on the frames all nice and everything. Put a empty hive box on and stuff wadded newspaper in the spaces so they don't build comb all over hell and seal it up. I'm walking away, (You've probably already know!) I remember I didn't take the corks out of the queen cage. Back into it and take out a couple frames get the cage take drill candy end with nail (At least I make sure I don't stab the queen who's running around wondering "Who is this axx hole?"
Seal it all back up finally. I'll give them about a week and check for eggs, comb etc. This beekeeping is a lot of fun so far!
