Approaching the Hive
Follow these steps when you are getting ready to work with your bees:
- Light the smoker and put on your veil.
- Approach the hive from the rear and direct puffs of smoke into the entrance as you gently remove the outer telescoping cover.
- Place the cover upside down on the ground.
- Remove the inner cover and be prepared to pry apart the propolis seal with your hive tool.
- Remove the first frame and look for the queen. If she’s there or on any frame you are inspecting, carefully set the frame against the hive, remove the next frame, and gently place the first frame containing the queen back in the hive.
- Continue to remove each frame, examine it, and replace it in order.
- When finished, smoke the bees downward while reassembling and closing the hive.
