This is April 24, 15 days after the bee packages were installed. The new hives, Ethel II and Justine, have calmed down a lot, but I am still being stung when I take the top off to feed them. I’ve never had this problem before.
Martha and Connie are strong. Martha, the Russian hive, is doing very well. I am still amazed that such a small ball of bees in February is a full hive in April. Connie, the hybrid Russian Italian is going like gangbusters and will want to swarm soon.
Here are the vids.
