Getting ready to get bees. Duct tape over the ends of the sleeves.
|
12/03/2005 10:15:14 AM
Getting gloves on.
|
12/03/2005 10:15:38 AM
I think this my the silliest picture of me ever.
|
12/03/2005 10:17:45 AM
The smoker.
|
12/03/2005 10:22:00 AM
Stepping into the boat getting ready to lift the seat.
|
12/03/2005 10:22:16 AM
You could probably see the bees better if my fat arse wasn't in the picture.
|
12/03/2005 10:22:31 AM
I have a smoker and I know how to use it! Cough Cough.... can't breath to much smoke. The bees are laughing at me.
|

Moving hive into the frames
|
12/03/2005 10:25:04 AM
Rubber bands to hold the nest in place
|
12/03/2005 10:25:36 AM
Getting it to fit properly with gloves on isn't easy.
|
12/03/2005 10:26:23 AM
Here comes another piece.
|
12/03/2005 10:27:08 AM
I realized it is a lot easier if you put the rubber bands on the frame first.
|
12/03/2005 10:27:25 AM
I usually out a couple of pieces of nest to each frame. So the frames would fill up.
|
12/03/2005 10:28:44 AM
This bee decided to hang around on my wife's hand. It never stung her it just kinda ran all over her hand.

|
12/03/2005 10:29:38 AM
Holding up the frame so my wife can see.
|
12/03/2005 10:31:17 AM
It seems everytime I remove a piece they get pissed.
|
12/03/2005 10:31:28 AM
We would like to welcome our new residents of Beehive polo and country club.
|
12/03/2005 10:33:42 AM
My wife was saying you are here with a hood and gloves and I don't have any of those . How about I seal you in there with the bees?
|
12/03/2005 10:33:53 AM
Someone is not happy about this move.
|
12/03/2005 10:35:43 AM
