Breaking Down An Apiary
http://beeaugustine.com We decided to break down our Nursery apiary and take the seven honey bee colonies to our St. Augustine Shores apiary, where we could better care for them over the winter. We showed up early in the morning in an attempt to close the honey bee hives before many forager bees left for their daily chores. Here are 5 Easy Steps To Break Down An Apiary;
Step 1. - Tape up the entrances to prevent bees from getting out during transportation.
Step 2. - Secure the honey bee hives with straps to keep them closed during transportation.
Step 3. - Remove feeder jars and prepare them for transport.
Step 4. - Load honey bee hives and secure in trucks for transport.
Step 5. - Load hive stands and anchor rods for transport.
The seven honey bee hives are back at the Nursery apiary now, along with four more honey bee colonies. By the looks of things; we will have many more colonies at the Nursery soon.
