Ready to go


This little 5 frame nuc is all ready to be driven to North Carolina tomorrow.   It got packaged up into the plastic box from a regular wooden box.  It will travel for 7 hours tomorrow to get to its new home.  There the frames and bees will be transferred back into woodware.

This is the first split to come out of our apiary to go to someone else.  The split came from the Queen castle.  Which in turn came from Little Miss who has very hard working bees.  This year Little Miss gave us 3 splits and 2 boxes of honey.

They are going to a new Beekeeper.  He will over Winter these bees and add more to his new apiary next spring.  Good luck to him and his new bees.
