Bed Weather

摘要

There are several ways that beekeepers install packages of bees into their hives. Some hives will have an entrance ramp and the bees are shook on the ramp and march into the hive. I used to like shaking the bees into a three frame open space in the first super and then replace the frames. However when one opens a package and starts shaking bees there can be a hazard of flying bees that a person may be unaccustomed. Sometimes package bees arrive when the weather is cold or rainy and you would prefer to have them walk from the package onto the frames within the hive. I helped another beekeeper install 60 packages that were in close proximity to each other and we didn want the bees flying around the other hives.
