On Monday I installed a very strong package of bees into my third hive. These bees were rearing to go, as they had already begun to make honeycomb inside their shipping container.

I installed the bees late in the day so that they would settle into their new home without much fuss. I have to say that it was and always will be an amazing experience. Several thousand bees flying around and ultimatley settling into their new hive. The sounds, smells and sights are so wonderful. It was if all nature was coalescing at my little hive spot.

So, all three hives are now up and running. I will check tonight to see if the newest hive has released and accepted the queen into the colony. All is well from Postfield.
