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.
Here’s the bees trying out the porch of their new home. -
My Apiary and its new ant proof base. The bolts are covered with Tanglefoot to keep the ants out of the hive.
