So, we decided to remove the hive from the sofa ourselves. And put it in our own yard.

How many bees do you estimate? What a job!

Six hours? That $250 quote suddenly doesn't look so expensive.

Aug 27, 10:55pm

For sure. And we spent more than that on bee keeping stuff.

If it costs more than it makes sense but it makes life interesting it’s a hobby.

Are you sure you got the queen?

Just reread that. See you aren’t sure. If there is no queen in there they will

Well done. Getting them to survive over the winter will be tricky.

He mentioned in another thread that he's in SoCal so with the milder winter weather maybe it's eaiser?

I imagine there is something blooming all year round. They should be fine.

Curious. With the outfits you wore and protection, how did you still get stung?

I took a couple slight ones on the chin through the screen when I was knelt down and looking up, and my chin went

Ahh. Thanks. I've just wondered about those bee suits and how well they work.

EM_Puma

Lots of beekeepers just use a veil, no arm or hand protection. Wear shorts.

Acorn

For this foray, I opted for near max protection. Although purchased on Amazon, the jacket is pretty good.

I somehow expect WhirleyPop to do something similar soon. Nice work.

IMPRESSIVE. Now you understand what I was saying about how much work it is.

Thank you, appreciate your comments/advice.

when you move the colony, you can go check out the old site and see how many

Morning update. Bees are doing their normal thing around the pond. Things in the yard across the street have quieted

valcorger

Aug 28, 11:51am

On the cement floor, are those live bees, dead bees or something else (pellets?)

EM_Puma

Aug 28, 11:54am

Bees are amazingly docile, if you leave them alone they are happy to just do

JWin

Aug 28, 2:16pm

So there are a few males and a lot of females and one queen?

EM_Puma

Aug 28, 9:16pm

Yes.

blueaussie

Aug 28, 9:34pm

The males (drones) only purpose is to find an unmated queen during a swarm.

JWin

The last thing to go through a drones mind. “She looks hot”.

Those are the lucky guys in more than one way. The ones that don't die

Morning 2 update. Moved the hive last night.

Nice landscaping with the pond and tree. Hopefully they have enough honey

Nakedbootleg

Yes, will definitely be feeding them. They current raid the HCBW’s hummingbird feeder.
