Latest Bee News (4\/21\/2018)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u>Ken, Mark and Henry ordered some bee Nucs or\u00a0nucleus colonies. These are small honey\u00a0<\/span>bee<\/em>\u00a0colonies created from larger colonies. The name is derived from the fact that a\u00a0<\/span>nuc<\/em>hive is centered on a queen, the nucleus of the honey\u00a0<\/span>bee<\/em>\u00a0colony.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u>It was chilly and a little rainy on Saturday when they went down to Falls City to pick them up. Ken wanted to build a new top board for the hive he was going to use so he waited until Sunday to put his bees in.\u00a0 Although Ken has some of his bee gear on, he had a big hole in his jeans that the bees could have used to get up into his pants.(Could have seen a little jig.) They just weren’t aggressive at all. I wasn’t stand very far away and they didn’t bother me either. It\u2019s very interesting to sit and watch them work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The pictures and video tell the rest of the story.<\/span><\/p>\n
