New hive painted green with blue roof, new design developed by members of the Central Oregon beekeeping club. Package of bees from Apricot Apiaries in Kimberly, Oregon installed on May 14, 2020 and queen cage removed on May 20, a lovely spring day with bees flying. Although it was difficult to see much comb, there is some and bees were returning with pollen which indicates there is brood to be fed! So, queen laying and all is well--which I'll verify on the next very warm day by pulling frames and checking for egg pattern, etc.
Now, the pictures!
