The video for this episode explains and shows all 14 important and necessary steps to installing a new package of honey bees. This is the second colony of Russian honey bees for me. The first one was installed last year and is doing remarkably well. The new colony will have to adjust to its home and queen and I’ll check on them again in about 5 days. Enjoy.
