Installing two new packages of  honey bees into their own new hive. 

The first package is installed using what some have called the "Gentle"  method that requires you to go back into the hive to remove the box. 

The second package is installed using the more commonly seen shake method where the bees are not usually disturbed for a few more days, when you check that the queen has been released. 

There are many methods that work for various beekeepers. The methods I use work for me. I encourage everyone to work with a local mentor or beekeeping club and follow the direction and skills they pass on to you. 

My videos are always intended to be entertainment. I hope you can find a few moment to laugh about beekeeping with old beekeeper.
