live bee action!

Two days later, and the bees are happily flying in and out and are all over our spring flowers. The box on the ground is the bee transport container. We couldn't get them all to drop out into the hive, but we hung the queen in her little cage between the bars, and put the remainder in front of the hive, close to the entrance. Next day they have all left the cage, bar the dead ones.

After we finally got our log yearned for bees, we brought them back from Garfield (the place, not the cat) and Fred and Nelly helped me to install them in our top bar hive, following clear instrauctions from William ( "The Bunyip Beekeper" ). At last! Someone willing to be helpful and informative about top bar hives! It went pretty smoothly, with just a small hitch with closing the hive, and just one sting to the neck (mine).
