Del Rio Apiary

04/19/2026

On Friday we had our first swarm of the year. Luckily Sammy and I were able to recapture them and put them into an empty hive. We located and secured the queen in a queen clip. Today Sammy went into the bees by himself for the first time to release her with her colony in their new home. He was a bit nervous but did an excellent job!

It’s great day to be at the farmers’ market… AND, it’s Sammy’s birthday!
