Thanks for letting show off and brag. My first package install.

The replacement Saskatraz package arrived today. The bees and the queen were all very lively. The queen very much wanted out of her cage.

I added this package to the queenless hive. Everything went smoothly and no one got stung.

The bees have found all 3 of the apricot trees that have open blossoms. One tree is to the northwest of the hives, one tree is south of the hives and the other tree is east of the hives.

The first Nanking cherry blossom of the season has also opened.

It is much easier to remove than the cans are.

I had cans in mine.
