Well it has finally happend! I am a proud owner of more than 20,000 bees...I think I counted twice and man its tough...ha ha . I got two 3 frame nucs and installed them Saturday evening. Today I went out and opened them for the first time (gave them 3 days to get settled down). I do see chalkbrood and Spotty brood patterns but I am assuming the spotty brood pattern is from the chalkbrood and not AFB (American Fowl brood). I have had lots of drift so I am going to start working the hives entrances into a different direction a little bit at a time.
Here is a video documenting my efforts:
Hope you enjoyed it. The fiddle tunes in this video are from my new CD if anyone is interested. I am selling them $12 each and charge $3 shipping.
