Buzz Into Beekeeping

This colony looked like they were about to swarm but decided not to, for now (phew!).
They’re a colony we inherited/rescued recently;
their original hive boxes have been damaged by woodpeckers and left for a few years so we’re moving them into new boxes. As soon as the queen moves into the bottom brood box we’ll add the queen-excluder then remove the old brood box when all the brood have hatched out. There’s so much propolis built up in the original brood box that we can’t get the frames out!

The Buzz Box beehive. A great home for honeybees!

Busiest time of the year for bees!

A s/o to for their video on how they finish their Buzz Box beehive 🐝✨

We love the finished look 🙌🏼

💡Buzz Box tip: varnish or paint the outer hive to keep it weathered resistant

Happy, thriving honeybees at the new apiary, including a colony rescued from an old collapsed hive 🐝✨
