Moving Day!

Finally had time to move bees today. It's not an easy process but needs to be done to get them ready for the winter. They have to get sun during the day but out of the North wind behind a structure if possible. Both sets are behind farm buildings.

Was able to borrow moving brackets from fellow beekeeper Eric. They worked slick but still needed an extra set of muscles. My nephew Justin helped me move one while my Alex helped with three others.

A 70 degree day made for active bees even though I had closed their entrances. Glad it was accomplished as the lows are now reaching freezing temps most nights. Added feeding patties for supplement.
