- Subject: [ocba] Installing package in gusty winds?
- Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2014 11:56:35 -0400
We picked up our packages yesterday, but decided to wait on
installation due to the rain,wind and cold. So today is beautiful -
but even windier. We have the bees in our garage and are spraying
them with sugar water. Is it too windy today to install? Or are we
better off waiting until tomorrow when the winds are supposed to be
minimal? The winds are forecasted to drop to 6-8mph by early evening,
but the temperature is supposed to drop to the low 40's overnight.
So far there are very few dead bees on the floor of the packages and
they remain tightly clustered.
Thanks!
Beth and Don Von Hagen
