Dinah gets her bees

Dinah put her packages into the two top bar hives.  I was there to lend moral support.  Another beekeeper!
Dinah's apiary all ready for the bees

The feeder placed inside an empty box.  The viewing window in on the left

A clever means of and control.  The basin will be filled with oil and the cup keeps the oil off the leg.

A proud beek with her first bees

The bees in the first hive and the bars being placed.  Note the brave, bare hands

The hives are named and branded.  This is Raven.

Happy bees at the entrance of their new home, Nasonov fanning.

Shaking the bees into the second hive


Placing the last bar

Lone Star hive
