The package has arrived. The queen, the workers and the drones are here. They came from Georgia and we think they are italians.
They came in a package with sugar water and with a queen trapped in a little box with candy at one end and a cork/string at the other end. The cork by the candy, was removed before setting the queen inside the hive and fter setting all the bees inside the hive..
The queen box is placed on one of the bars of the hive and the rest of the bars are placed to close the hive. The bees have access to the sugar water thru a separator that has a hole to another compartment inside the hive.
The holes for the entrance and exit of the bees are located in the bar hive so that they are facing south.
Now, we just have to wait and have our bees get settled in their new home
