My package of Buckfast bees arrived on Friday, May 7. Unfortunately, the weather was cold, windy and rainy so I waited until today (Sunday the 9th--Mother's Day) to hive the little buggers. Buggers was right as I was stung twice shaking the bees into the empty hive. Seriously? I thought they were so docile when being hived. Oh well, I admire their spunk. Let's just hope they do as well as their predecessors did in that hive.
The second package for the new hive should ship in two weeks. I couldn't get more Buckfast bees so I ordered Italians.
