Wild Bee Install Day

Ready for install of Microtel bees

The only bees left outside of brood box in evening of wild bee install.

Peeking out the top board.

Received my new brood box from Clarence @ CS Honey today. Had bees in temporary cardboard box  since Friday. In the mean time the queen had started laying eggs in the comb that the workers had already started building. Hoping that she wasn't damaged while I poured them in. Will be going back after this evening to shut brood box and take way cardboard. Crossing my fingers.

I also checked all other hives and they all are doing well with strongest at the Vinyard.
