Moving of the new colony


Today the nuclei have been given to us. Every colony is placed on 4 sections which are put in their new bee hive. 
With a hive tool, every section is separated from the transport box and put in the new bee hive after controlling for the presence of the queen bee.





Talk with the expert for more information.

Lesson and demonstration: moving of the sections to the other bee hive.





The remaining bees. The container with the rest of the bees is knocked on strongly, so the bees leave their old home.

The plastic wrap is placed between the breeding compartment and the food compartment. A hole has to be cut in it in order for the bees to arrive at their food.
