Excellent Ed. I still have to convince my wife beekeeping is a good idea. Good luck.

did you remove the sugar plug, or the cap covering the sugar plug? Also you should leave the container they came in near the hive so they can find their way in.

[epawlus77]

@MobileCabinWorks No I misspoke, I only removed the cap and allowed the bees to eat through the plug. Good catch!

I think that's the red winged blackbird call? I haven't seen guinea fowl around here.

@czuwajyt When Alex studied Colony Collapse Disorder in one of his biology courses. It was his idea!

okaaayyyyyyyyy.....fascinating but slightly scary! I'd be one massive bee sting by now, I'm sure :( I'll be watching your progress & waiting for my own little bottle of home grown honey! xoxo Marysia
