The beginning is my son and I helping a new beekeeper set up their hive box and introduce their bees into new equipment. The second half is nuc pre-sale inspections. Hope you enjoy.

I got stung in my groin by a yellowjacket when I was five or six years old and channels like this and JP the bee man have helped me get past that early childhood trauma too. There are some species I still have no love for and will keep my distance from, but I'm not nearly as antsy around honey bees anymore, which is good as the neighbor next door has a hive in the back of their storage shed that they don't want to get rid of, and I have to walk past it on the way to the bus stop every day.

Had a rescue dog that loved to sit by bushes and hunt bees, wasps, whatever. We would pull the stinger out of his swollen face, and he would happily return to the bushes. We would keep him in the house until the swelling went down, but he wanted to hunt the bees more than the sting bothered him. He was a ratter delux. The GS isn’t a ratter, so once should work.

I would worry about leaving my bees with someone so clueless, yes we’ve all gotta start somewhere but if you can’t tell honey from brood 😬 They need to be carful with those frames too, foundation less is fine but without wires added to strengthen the comb as they draw it it’s going to be awfully soft for a while. Still on the plus side, it’ll keep you busy collecting the swarms from their hive in a few weeks 😆 It’s good to see you ensuring that the Nucs are good before sale, I sell a few and it’s a tricky balancing act, you want a full box but too full they start swarm preparation. I guess I’m nobody, always mark my queens with the right year colour, as I’ve some that are now three years or more and still going strong, and some that were superseded late last year, without the mark I’d never have known.

What kind of tree is that with the pink flowers? any idea? we just lost our bradford pear and i'm looking to get a new tree planted that my bees will like.

I set out a swarm trap and bees just moved in yesterday. I am wondering how long should I let them stay in the trap before moving them into the deeps at the final location which is only 50 feet away. The swarm trap and the deeps have wax coated plastic frames with no comb. Thanks.

Keep in mind the distance, especially with the elders. I know it's hard while doing the thing you love while keeping your distance. My beekeeping mentor is currently on a breathing machine due to Corona virus, it's not looking good.

It's a flower. Sorry, I'm an ass and couldn't resist. Looks like camellia blossoms (www.gardenia.net/guide/long-blooming-camellias) which I only learned the name of from another comment.
