Today we pulled some nucleus colonies, and hived a couple young ones, at our secret apiary in SE DC.
Of the three we pulled (all Don the FatBeeMan's small-cell stock), one was destined for a very special place, the Smithsonian Natural History Museum on Constitution Ave.
The museum has an observation hive of rather ingenious design, and they have been having trouble with their colony for a couple of years. You may remember that last year we provided a couple of honey frames for them in order to boost the health of the colony.
We were pleased to be able to help them out again, with a fresh and thriving colony produced in Lula, Georgia by the great Don Kutchenmeister.
Here are some excerpts from our day:
