| 2 MN hygienic Queens |
May 15, 2011
Ben went to Stillwater to purchase 2 Mn hygienic queens today. Look, they are lovely. They are in their own little cages and the attendants are feeding them. They will stay warm and in the dark in our basement until we bring them to their new respective homes: one in Chanhassen on Monday May, 16; the other one in Shakopee on Thursday May, 19. It is really fascinating to watch the attendants around the queen, they bring her some sugar syrup that has been sprayed in the plastic container.
Later in the afternoon, Ben and I went to Chanhassen and we took the top deep box and moved it to the 4th. hive location. So now it has 2 deep boxes, and we added 1 gallon of sugary syrup. Now few bees from hive #1 will have a new home, and tomorrow they will have a new young queen.
