Post-Establishment Habitat Management

all right your goal is to not have bees in the top Super you don't need bees in the top Super now you see there's a hole right here we got to plug this hole we can plug this hole as simply as stuffing a little bit of grass in it to keep the bees from going in there or in my case I've got some burc comb wax that I'm just going to stick right into that this will only be here for about two days guys so you don't really have to worry about it so much I'll address that just a little bit more when I get done filming you can see there's a little pandemonium going on right now it's okay they're figuring it all out not a big deal this is totally normal these guys are calming down already and everything's looking good that's how you introduce a package of bees to your hives if you have any questions please post them down there again thanks to tr B Supply for helping us out every single year we get bees from Triad B Supply it's very normal for the bees to come out of their package and you'll see little spots little dots that look like honey on the ground or around the hive that's their poopy so they've been in there and they haven't gone to the bathroom most of them haven't gone to the bathroom so they'll make a maiden flight and they'll go to the bathroom then they'll go back in in about two days I'll come out here I'll pop the covers I'll smoke them and I'll pull those Queen cages out and we'll check the frames and make sure that they have some eggs in them awesome having frames that already have been drawn out like that gives them a huge jump start it's almost like getting a nucleus Hive or a hive that's already set up soon as that Queen's out she'll breed and she'll start laying eggs cool thanks guys hit that like button subscribe to the channel love to have you back here on the Stony Ridge Farm we just put the baby chicks in the baby chicken mobile
