Installing Packaged Bees
A guide to installing packaged honey bees into your hive can be found by clicking here.
The photo is of a queen cage. The cork at the bottom is removed and a plug of crystallized honey is placed in the hole. The worker bees will release to queen into the hive when they eat the honey plug.
Wow, thank you for starting this blog. I can see it's going to be very helpful as I work my way towards managing my first hive in May!
