Mad Bees
« on: February 26, 2021, 07:10:20 pm »
 I made them mad. Double deep was getting ready to make swarm cells. Packed with bees, all frames full with no expansion possible. I proceeded to do a walk away split using a 5 frame nuc to simulate her swarming, found my queen in the top box and put her and that frame in the nuc. I pulled 2 frames out of the top for the nuc counting the queen frame, went into the bottom to find two more and they were getting irate . Got the other two and moved the nuc. On the way back to reassemble the hive I snagged a root and down I went face first with no chance to get my hands out. Knocked the breath out of me and my veil came mostly off. My face and head got ate up.  Dang some of them face stings hurt. 1 swollen eye bag and 1 swollen ear lobe and a bunch of itches. That little root is now gone, an armadillo had rooted it up. And yeah, I got the hive back together. But didn't do anything else I had planned there.

As Perry always says, "pictures, we need pictures."

Where's Perry? He always gives a piece of pie for a pic.  Maybe B13 can do it.

Sorry to hear about your miserable day in the bee yard.   :'( Well, Perry is frozen up North and iddee has dropped a suggestion about comfort pie.  Since you are from Florida RAST, I send you a slice of Key Lime Pie.  We hope that makes you feel better.
