Thanked: 1352 They arrived
I wonder how fast the truck went. I woke up this morning to a mail that the bees are here.
Pictures of how I spent my early afternoon.
Buzzing in the back of my truck
The box's are ready to go.
Dump them in.
spread them around so they don't get squished
All done except to put the bricks back on top

On the top of the box in the pictures you can see an orange colored square. That is 1/2 of a pollen patty and that should get them through about a week. It is my understanding that that gives them protein... [I am still learning!] Originally Posted by rolodave

Many things for me to learn yet but I have been told that you have to be careful about feeding them the syrup to early because they think that the flowers are blooming and start laying eggs etc...

Here is basically what I did except I didn't block the entrance because I can't make it back for about a week.

That is how he talks in person!
Does anyone have a good use for the 196 or so miniature marshmallows I have left in the bag?
