The Looking for the Rest

I found the best place for the beekeeper's holiday. The bees do not live there.

The Makeing Nucs

We are makeing nucs with my parents in the Visocina Bee Yard.

The Swarming

My father Jan Urban corrects the entrance of the swarm catcher. The empty hive is located about 200 m from the bee yard. 

The Queen Cell Story II

The virgin queens are hatching in our nucs. The queen cells are opened.

The Queen Cell Story

The photos show using queen cells by makeing nucs.

The Smoker

The smoker is the equipment for the pacifying bees. The smoker can pacify the beekeeper too.

The Queen Rearing

The first photography with the young larva is from the 30. 04. 2009 evening. The second photography is from the 1. 05. 2009 morning. The queen cells are growing very fast.
