I am going tomorrow to look and p/u 3 hives that have been abandon for a few years.
1. What should I do to clean my tools after looking at them/moving them?
2. Do I need to clean my suit and gloves?
3. At what point should I bring them home the main yard?
I already am planing to haul to a isolated yard and transition them to new frames and/or boxes. Last thing I want to do is to kill my hives, even though 90% of them are hygienic.
What is worth culling out of the hives as far as the equipment?
Thanks. Any advice would be appreciated.
