The Review/Bill Decker
The author’s grandson Eli learned how honeybees are docile during a swarm.
Christel Hixson, manager of Hillcrest Farm, looks through a tray of honeybees in search of the queen bee.
To prevent the queen bee from escaping, Hixson uses a bee-muff to transfer the queen into a small box that will be placed inside the hive.
The queen be inside a small box enclosure that will be placed in the commercial hive box.
Christel Hixson places the queen be in the commercial hive.
The honeybee swarm clings to the limb of an azalea bush. This is when honeybees are most vulnerable.
If you’ve ever encountered a swarm of honeybees in the wild it can be a quite unnerving experience.
