The news of bees in the trap in Fulton as well as the scout activity around our hives, motivated us to finish the hive. Linda had started decorating it, but life got busy and it was put aside for bit.
So we carried the hive to the kitchen and Linda got started. She wanted a gnome theme. It’s pretty creative.
The next morning we carried the hive down to the apiary and set it on its stand. Then we had to go back to the house to get the top and carry it down. The hive is fairly heavy, around 25 pounds. The top is more awkward than heavy. It weighs around 15 or so pounds.
After that, I screwed the hinges of the top into the hive and it was ready to go.
