Opening up the Bees

We opened up our new hives at the beginning of the week. We wanted to increase the brood box and check on how they are doing. It was a little invasive for them, but kind of cool for us. We will be further increasing the brood box, as we plan to do a Perone hive, but future increases should not be as intrusive.

Here's a video of Abe describing what we're doing.
