Sept 28th 2015 I suspect I am going into my bee hive #1 and pulling frames for eggs. This is ridiculous that the bees are so defensive in #2. I got stung on the right side of my eye brow when I was mowing with the lawn tractor.
The bees have just been stirred up and won't settle down. This is the same thing that was happening to the lady I got them from. I am going to see if Texas A/M university Bee program has a way to do testing on the low end for Africanized bees. It wouldn't surprise me if they were 50 percent or more.
This really is a complete change in what I was wanting to do. I was wanting to re-queen with bee hive #2 and get rid of bee hive #1 queen. Anyhow...... I will research some on doing this. I don't think I will kill the queen in bee hive #2, but release her with some bees in the treeline in my neighbors back yard. I suspect I can do that if I transfer her to a Nuc Box when I re-queen beehive #2
Mean Bees SUCK!
