Well I decided since the hive has arrived home, I did not like how they were setting low to the ground on the paving blocks. I had a few minutes free the other night so I made a bee hive stand for them to rest uponout of some scrap lumber laying around. After slapping a few coats of paint to ward of the oncoming wood rot that will happen under the pleasant 80% humidity and sunshine, it is complete.
I will place the bees upon their new throne in a couple of days after the new paint smell disappears. I opened the hive to take a peek last night and the kids are doing wonderful. There is new comb being made in the second super and everyone looked happy.
