Here is an adorable picture of Cheyenne with a bee on her hat:Īnd that concludes another amazing Saturday adventure at the UO Urban Farm. This group seems to be settling in just nicely: I didn’t see who(whom?) to credit, but someone was brilliant and scraped it off with a City of Eugene business-card: Partly during this process Harper got stung just under the right eye. The European honey-bee’s were placed into a Langstroth hive.
These pictures show the container of sugar-water used for feeding the bee’s during shipment. Here the guys are opening the second batch of bee’s, containing the European lot (or was it the Italian bee’s?). These bars were previously lined with wax to promote natural “U” shape comb development. Now they are all (or mostly) out of the container, and it’s time to place the remainder of the bars to close off that section of the hive. Then he took out the can of sugar-water (not pictured: but you are able to see the metal top of it two pictures above, and some six pictures later) and placed the worker bees with their queen into their new home: Using a metal clasp attached to her enclosure, he inserted the queen onto one of the horizontal slates: Get Inspiration For Education Weve found some of the best bee puns, bee jokes and one-liners we can - we reckon theyre the bees knees. This was done for the bee’s to eat off/eat their way into the queen (“within a couple days time”)- to prevent them from swarming off elsewhere. He popped the cork off her box and inserted wax/honey from a previous hive into her enclosure. Harper took the queen bee from the larger container, she is separated in her own small box (pictured below). “But first let me get a shot for Instagram” – Harper This is the container the bee’s were brought to us in.
Note the bee’s congregating at the entrance/exit in the lower left of the container “After” (Since the bee’s were still adjusting to their new home, I wouldn’t quite refer to it as after until they have fully moved in): A Kenya (top-bar horizontal hive) and a Warre Langstroth hive :], Italian honey-bee’s in one and European in the other. Saturday (April 5, 2015) I got to watch bee’s go into a new home. Ill stop now, before everyone flies off the handle and tells me to buzz off. Bonus 4: Favorite cartoon Beevis and Buzzhead. Bonus 3: Favorite classical artist Ludwig van Beethoven. Large number of Swarm of: Whenever referring to a large group of things, especially if they are moving in some sense, you might refer to them as a swarm. Bonus 2: Bees favorite Spice Girls song Wannabee. It also refers to a male bee within a colony that does no work but can fertilise the queen. Currently listening: Lecherous Gaze- Animal Brain Bonus: what would be the perfect line-up for a bee concert The Beegees, Sting and Queen.
