Orientation flights
Lazy morning prepping for hive split at mentees.
Headed down and walked through the plan and made sure we had all the equipment ready.
First step get all frames with queen cells in a nuc, 12 queen cells found. Next step 2 queen cells on a frame in the hive brood box, 2 queen cells in each nuc with frames from hice and 2 queen cells for queen rearing.
I took a nuc away to apiary and the queen cells for apideas.
Bees not best pleased but sprayed with sugar syrup to distract them. All colonies fed with sugar syrup
Headed to my apiary and set up nuc, this is them orientating. Apideas set up and in shed.
Quiet night.
