The Queens

Notice the Queen is larger and the bees defer to her

The main thing you are looking for on your first inspection is to see if the queen has eaten the candy plug in her cage and has escaped.

Look for your queen and see if she is laying eggs in the center of the middle frames, as she is supposed to.

Look to see if their is pollen, honey, and brood being stored in the combs.

Don’t Rush

Remember to move slow and gentle and work from the outside in. This is something I forgot to do a couple times on the video. I put the frames in the empty hive body I put the feeder in; this keeps the frames off the ground.

If you rush to put extra hive boxes on your new hive before the bees have drawn out all the frames, they will “chimney” and start on the middle two frames in the upper box before they finish the outermost frames in the lower box. Don’t rush anything, beekeeping is a marathon, not a sprint.
