Title: Camp House Cut Out Part 2
Post by: cdray on April 27, 2013, 09:33:51 am

J.C. Small and I remove the second hive from the same old camp house, on the Alabama river. The bees were a bit pissy but hopefully they'll settle down. Hope ya'll enjoy the video.... David

Ken, he has been bitten by the "bee bug", he loves it...We are setting up these bees for J.C.'s first hive and he is beyond excited.

Great video!  Good looking queen that obviously lays well.  I may have missed it but I didn't see any smoke getting used.

Yes, we did use a little smoke...they had a bit of an attitude but it was cool when we started.. They have since settled down.
By the way, I'm using your nuc design. I really like them...Thanks. David.
