medication

I gave Hive #2 some Fumigilin today in 1/2 gallon of 2:1 syrup.  It will need another dose when this is gone.

No meds in Hive #1 since they have supers on

No meds in Hive #3 since I had a mason jar filled with 1:1 syrup already and didn't want to disturb this hive until it's fully blended with the Nuc, which I did just yesterday.

I have pain everywhere today due to the  number of bee stings yesterday!

I had to put back into Hive #1 the empty super frames this morning and also needed to get some equipment from the area to wash it.  When I opened up Hive #1 to just add the frames, they swarmed me!  Oh man, they didn't like to be disturbed by me again!  Not in two consecutive days.

Only one sting on the wrist. But, I'm over getting stung.. I need to remember that, at this time of year, they don't want anyone taking their honey.  So they're very protective....hence the stings.  I've gone all season with no stings until yesterday.

I'll leave the bees alone now for a few weeks...so we can all recover.
