Installation of my First Beehive

Today with the help of my beekeeping Mentors Mike Layne, Patti Layne & Mary Meyer we installed my first Bee Hive.  My NUC came from R Weaver Farms in Navasota, TX. The NUC had 4 frames and provided a view into the hive where we found capped brood, capped comb and even some honey.  We were not able to physically locate the queen.  We replaced 4 frames in my hive with the 4 frames in the NUC.  We left the NUC box on the ground in front of the hive to allow the remaining bees to rejoin the hive.  The following morning most of the bees had gone into the hive indicating that there was a working queen.  We will make an inspection in about 10 days to confirm our queen is working.

Here is a link to a video of our installation: NUC Installation
