Day One!


Picked up a nuc, (short for nucleus, essentially half of a hive that has been split) from Elmore Herman at the Leon County Extension Office. Put it into one of my hives with no problem. A couple of them hit my veil, probably because it was so cloudy. 2 of the 5 frames were fresh foundation. Exciting!

Sting Counter: 1
Right rear lower neck. While picking up the bees at the Extension office. There were lots of them flying around and one decided to crawl down my collar. Not very painful at all!
