Swarm is Settling In to New Home

I borrowed a frame of honey from another hive to fill the empty space in the medium nuc.



I opened the nuc to find the bees busy at work, cleaning and settling in. I was easily able to insert the frame of honey to add to their jump start.



My grandson came out to watch the settling in process.



I have a reduced entrance and the bees are falling all over themselves as they enter and leave their new home.

    Hey, Just ran across your blog. So glad I did. We've been tossing around the idea of bee keeping. Would love some home spun honey !

    Hey Linda!
    I guess I need to get on a swarm capture list! I lost two of my three hives this year, and am looking for an inexpensive way to fill my two empties. How do I get on a list?

    Steve,
    If you belong to Metro Atlanta Beekeeper's, you just call Cindy Bee - she's in charge of the swarm list. I got this swarm because the person found me on the Internet and emailed me through this blog.
