After about a week without any intervention, we saw a break in a number of rainy days and decided to head out to set up some new hardware for the hives.
All in installation
Releasing the Queens
After waiting 3 days for the bees to settle, Caitlin and I visited the hives to make sure the queens were alive and well and, if necessary, remove them from their cages so they can get to work laying!
Hives setup and bees installed!
Caitlin picked up with three packages of bees from Best Bees in the South End and brought them to Rock Meadow. We brought the them to the previously set up boxes (two 10 frames and one 8 frame).
