This is the second step to install a bee package in your new hive. There are two videos in this post, each will show half of the process.
In this video, I drop the bees into their new home. There are approximately 4,000 bees in this package--and it always is a bit exciting to get them into their new home.
Before this step, I already installed the queen cage. Right before I start the drop, you can see her little cage inside the hive box.

I do not understand how to take care of bees, and frankly I was afraid of bees. because ever I experienced a bleak incident for me while cleaning my garden suddenly a bunch of bees attacked my body, so almost all my body bumps due to bee sting, especially part of my face. I accidentally destroyed the nest, I do not see the beehive because it is hidden in the leaves of the trees. I'm afraid of bees 😊
Beekeeping can be an exceptionally productive business. be that as it may, when you comprehend what you are doing.
The world need bumble bees since they help in the pollinating of plants and the nectar created is devoured by people in ....
it's crude frame and can be prepared to make regular sweetener.thanks for this incredible and valuable lesson...Resteemit...😊😊😊😊
@bigpanda
This is something I am so interested in doing, just need to get started, I live across the road from a forest and thought maybe I could set it up in the forest? Do you think that is a good idea.
Want to do it mainly to help sustain the bee population, I know it would be small, but I guess every little helps, and of course the honey would be "Shweet" pun intended.
thanks for posting
As always, @bigpanda you delivered a marvellous post which i really enjoyed....honestly im not sure i would have understood much if you had just written it out, but with the video it was easy to see how it was done. I'm still scared of bees though so i won't be starting a bee farm anytime soon😥, but im glad to atleast have the know how😏....so thanks once more.

Speaking out myself bee keeping is a Risky business i can ever imagine
But maybe, since am seeing this post I might take a chance to do it once I get in gaps or opportunities of learning bee keeping
Otherwise I have fear of bees stinging my eyes
