Long Lang Horizontal Hive Startup. Home Made, Saskatraz Package honey bee Install. The Beginning!

Happy Friday and I have finally finished the Long Langstroth Bee Hive and installed a 3 pound package of Saskatraz Honey Bees. The bees arrived on Tuesday in a snowstorm and had to be held until Thursday for installation when the weather broke. Package storage - 55-60 deg. f, in total darkness to keep the bees quiet. They did not use up their included sugar syrup. Very few dead, and the Queen was lively. I also walk you through my apiary to show an indication of robbing that is very important to know about this time of year, or any time there is a dearth. The nectar flow has not hit us yet, so they need feed to get them going. My seasoned bees that made it through winter are bringing in resources at a rapid pace and will need wider entrances and a super very soon. I had several extra packages of bees as I over-speculated about my winter losses. So, I've added two more hives to the apiary in addition to the Long Langstroth hive. The two new Flow-Hive 2 units will be the ones I use to check for a varroa load in the Saskatraz bees. The weather was so bad that I decided not to treat the packages before installation. I will share about package health within the next 9 days.
