Title: first check on new install
Post by: trapperbob on April 29, 2007, 12:58:25 AM
 :)Well there building comb and there are eggs so I'm feeling pretty stoked about that but did notice later that some bees that don't belong to the hive tryed to rob the hive not many and the ones that do belong seemed to handle the situation very well. I have italians and the ones trying to rob were dark black and about half there size around but maybe as long they definetly were smaller and really didn't seem aggressive the italians were very aggressive though. Anybody have any idea what the intruders may have been?

Size wise it is from small cell or feral hives.  Michael Bush is in NE maybe they're his.
