Bill and Ilonkas 2009 BeeKeeping Adventure! A very short movie about setting up two new bee hives on our property in lower Orange County, New York USA..
It's looks like you are enjoying yourselves with this. That's the key, I think. BTW, you might consider changing from feeding them sugar water to honey. It makes them healthier. Please don't feel insulted by my suggestion. Just want to be helpful. ;-)
GREAT VIDEO - but i would like to help you guys out before its too late --- start with one deep when you install the packages - not a stack of supers - bees will build up and only use 3-4 frames in each box - its better to start with one box and let them fill it out then add one - then when its full add one and so on... also bees need to keep warm and with one box its easier then a stack of empty boxes that stay colder - best of luck - it might be early enough to take some boxes off
