Adventures in beekeeping! - the journey begins.

So, my sister tells me she has bees in a wall of a building near her house.

Her house is about 3 hours away from mine, so I won't be able to monitor them regularly. And, as far as I know, she nor my parents have any desire to take care of bees, so...

I decide to build a Warré hive for them.  Warré hive plans.

So, I built a jig, so the boxes would be consistent. And I made a hive. (I also made some extra boxes)

Then I went off and removed the bees from her wall.

So I got them out of the wall, and into their new hive over along a fence row.

I hope you are happy little bees. I'll come check on you soon as I can!
We also got some honey, so that was a nice bonus.
