5th and Final Hive for this Year

Started another colony of bees. Bought a complete hive from Wally on Monday of this past week. I placed this hive next to a hive that Bill Hansen has at Clarence Brown's house. We inspected the hive yesterday and found they are strong. This is a two deep hive with the bottom box full of honey. Added two gallons of feed.
Bill and I requeened one of his hives today.  I would estimate we had 10-12,000 bees flying or on the ground during this process. We both managed to not get stung.
