Picking up Bees from Don (aka Fatbeeman)

Posted by admin on Marzec 19, 2011
Today Julia and I drove to Lula, Ga to pick up bees from Don. She was getting a package for Blue Heron and picking up another for a friend. I was picking up 10 packages for Linda T’s Bees in South Georgia and getting two packages for another friend.

When we arrived, Don was shaking a package into a nuc. He is using an empty medium nuc box as a funnel to help contain the bees as they are shaken.

Now he is taking the cork out of the candy end of the queen cage. He wedges the queen cage, screen wire down, in between two frames and leaves her for the bees to release. (The man in the white shirt just got stung right in the middle of his forehead).

Now Don is closing up the nuc before taking us to his basement to pick out our packages.

It’s always fun to see Don in action. (The white-shirted man is trying to scrape the stinger off of his forehead!)

 
All told we were picking up fourteen packages in the back of my Subaru.  It’s important that the bees not overheat in transit so Don nailed them apart using pieces of wood to keep the packages separate and to keep them upright.

With the car all ready to roll, I got Julia to take my picture with Don.

We drove back to Atlanta with a car full of bees and only a few loose in the car at the back window.
