DAY 52----THE END!

I planned on taking this hive the first free evening but it was raining nicely this morning.  So, I took advantage of the bees being stuck inside their home for the storm.  I plugged them up and transplanted them in my yard.  I believe they will make a great hive for 2015.  Shoot, I may collect a little Goldenrod/Aster honey for those folks that like it on this hive.  It was a fun and successful trap out.

Rain as long as you don't get stuck in the mud it is one of the best moving screens there is for keeping bees in the hive. Nice rainfall Dave now you just need the sun to come out and every thing will bloom again Clover, Dandelions.
