Bees Bees Bees

So today we went and picked up our bees from warm colors apiary, and installed them in our top bar hive.

This is not a how to, we messed up a few things.
One: we didn't uncork the queen box.




We ended up going back in and uncorking the queen's box, and we decided to shake the bees into the hive, they were just not coming out.

Also we're going back tomorrow to give them more sugar water.



They were very gentle, no stings at all. And I had so much fun, and they seemed to like their new home, they settled in very quickly.
