Back again for the umpteenth year in a row as I prepare to install another package of bees. I can't find a better video than this one to refresh my memory on these important steps! Happy beekeeping to all who partake.

Of all the bee package installation videos out there, this one is my favorite. It has all the information you need but it is short and to the point. Thank you!
