They will settle after an hour. If you spray, do not brush, the bees with sugar syrup they will start thinking "all you can eat buffet" and forget everything else you are trying to do.
OMG! Thanks for letting me know, I had no idea. I think I checked yesterday and it still said April 21 and I had no plans to check again so BIG THANKS for letting me know the date had changed!!!Pixie, I just checked Jim's blog. The bees are delayed, they are not arriving until Thursday. Adrian.
I'm not sure that people who deliberately open boxes filled with thousands of stinging insects can be considered "normal" to begin with! Yes, I'd say it's normal to be nervous the first time. It's also very exciting - enjoy every minute of it.I don't know if it is normal to be this nervous.
