Today we installed our bee package that we purchased from Bjorn Apiaries. These bees are Russian Hybrids that originated from Hardeman's Apiaries in Georgia. I used a top feeder on the hive filled with a sugar syrup made with 5lb of sugar and 2 1/2 quarts of water. I also installed an entrance reducer set to it's smallest opening. This will give the bees a smaller area to defend until the colony expands. Filming was done by my brave wife, Sue. No one was stung in this process!
Here's a video of the install:
