Linda great blog. I have alwa...Hi Bill and Linda,<br /><br />Linda great blog. I have always had an interest in beekeeping and your blog is exceptional!<br /><br />I know it is three years later, however the mistake I believed that was made was Bill you didn't remove any frames so you could pour the bees down into the center of the box.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />MikeMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672991054730653764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-35313173176460922752007-05-22T17:06:00.000-04:002007-05-22T17:06:00.000-04:00Nope, it wasn't leaning over to get the lid or the...Nope, it wasn't leaning over to get the lid or the smoker.<BR/><BR/>You only spray a package with sugar syrup, you never use a smoker. Leaning over the hive, well I do that all the time. After working with bees for years and working several hundred colonies within a day you get to where you are comfortable doing all types of stuff. Now if that had been one of my strong established colonies...I wouldn't have leaned over it like that.<BR/><BR/>BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-5120667582879134102007-05-21T17:06:00.000-04:002007-05-21T17:06:00.000-04:00Congrats Linda, I wish we had something like that ...Congrats Linda, I wish we had something like that here, it is really hard to find any courses on beekeeping.<BR/>To the mistake Bill, is it when you leaned right over the new hive to get the top lid ?? When I saw that pic I did winch thinking of thoses bees dissapearing up your shirt !! I must have another look, you didn`t use a smoker either, was that deliberate ?Ngaiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08413136577784656552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-18106978857602167572007-05-20T22:14:00.000-04:002007-05-20T22:14:00.000-04:00Well, now, there's a challenge!
