First Cut Out (photos)

First attempt at a cut out. Started at 2:30 PM. Pulled down the ceiling and found about 12 combs - each comb was about 24" x 4". Most were brood but a couple were honey. I used a putty knife to remove the comb and put them in new foundationless frames. Then, into two deep hives I built. Couldn't find the queen on the comb, but as I brushed out the ceiling cavity after the comb was removed, I found her. She looked perfect and went right in the hive. Most gentle bees I have ever been around. It was a perfect day. Finished at about 5:30. Only my second year with two hives, but now I have three!

never take the top off a hive on a day that you wouldn't want the roof taken off your house
