  • Good Friday swarm followup

    We placed the swarm into this hive.  It’s got two deep boxes as well as a hive top feeder.  The swarm was too big for just a single box.  I’m glad I had a spare in reserve.  The smaller box on the top is a feeder, we’ll give them sugar water until they figure out where the best forage is.  The bocks under the hive are ant proofed with Tanglefoot on them.
