Country Bees

28 April, 2013 - 2pm

The hive that was not thriving has perished.  Today I found roaches, ants and many other bug types in the hive.  Disassembled it and put the various hive pieces in the freezers at home.

The package hive - replaced the quart jar today, did not inspect this weekend, weather permitting I will do that next weekend.

The remaining hive - Removed a honey super to crowd the bees down into the lower supers.

Applied insecticed around the hive stand legs.  Might have to use commercial stuff if the homebrew doesn't work.
