My Third Hive Yaaaa...!

Today was a great day. I finally got my third bee hive setup and the ladies are doing fine this evening.
It was a really hot day and I was a little concerned about getting my bees in their hive at high noon.
It was about 98' degrees and a slight breeze but, they had to get put in their new home. I put a little smoke on them with my smoker and they were so calm I didn't even use my bee suit to transfer the frames from the nuc to my brood box/hive.
Put a front entrance feeder on the hive box and just let the ladies get themselves cooled off a bit and they settled right down to business as usual..
Love my bees...

Pictures will be here tomorrow evening...
