Our bees finally arrived and We were so excited. They come in the open crate and the post office called right away to come and get them! Larry and I suited up and installed our first package of bees. It was so exciting. It went very well if I must say so myself. It ended poorly on Sunday when our bees left because of the heat, 90 degrees in Coudersport in April is unheard of. They had no comb and no reason to fight the heat so they left. We have located two more hives to get in May and try again. We have also talked to a lot of beekeepers who lost multiple hives over the winter so we are not so crushed over loosing just the one. I love the bees and an ready to try again.
