[00:00:00]All right guys, we're back here AK Addicts and I'll give Mark the camera here. This is hive eight, the one that's been a pain in our butt. I forgot to record, but we finally opened it up and there she is. She has been accepted and she seems to be doing her job. I still don't see any eggs really, but it's she's running around looking.

[00:00:24]>> Not the best light, but she's doing good. So, we're going to close her back up in here and let her be.

[00:00:37]Move that color.

[00:00:40]Yep. And we're switching over to We've been slowly making these screen boards instead of those crown boards that are solid, and they seem to like them. So, we're going to keep on doing that, and we'll show you hive 33 when we get to there.

[00:00:56]Nope. Okay. Hive 33.

[00:01:02]It's a nice strong hive.

[00:01:05]Close. Put the freaking Oh, they're eating on it, too.

[00:01:09]>> Yeah.

[00:01:10]>> Put the hive tool away like a dummy.

[00:01:13]>> It's all right. You get >> just get one of them out. We can >> That's all I needed to do right there.

[00:01:21]>> Candy's gone. Queen's out.

[00:01:25]All right.

[00:01:28]Take two. These are getting ant rolling her. So, >> yeah, this is a good size hive really for the start of the season.

[00:01:38]Yeah. On that one. Well, it's got quite a bit there. That's all new draw out, dude.

[00:01:44]>> Yeah, it is.

[00:01:44]>> I mean, there that's pretty clean.

[00:01:47]Not cleaning it up. They're starting to do their job well.

[00:01:52]Staying away from the water in this one.

[00:01:54]Yeah, I don't see her on that one.

[00:02:00]Not on that one.

[00:02:03]No, but I guarantee she's in here. Oh, yeah.

[00:02:15]I don't see her there. You see how they did the sugar waters?

[00:02:20]Yep.

[00:02:26]probably this one right here.

[00:02:29]Mhm.

[00:02:30]>> Yep.

[00:02:30]>> Yep. There she is.

[00:02:33]She has been accepted. And see how there's sugar water up here and nothing down here really. You're going to town.

[00:02:39]Look at her.

[00:02:40]>> This is kind of a pissy hive though.

[00:02:42]I'll tell you what.

[00:02:43]>> Yeah. There other one wasn't even was the a-hole hive and there wasn't even doing this.

[00:02:48]>> Yeah. No. Eight was being more behaved.

[00:02:53]Depending how her genetics are, though.

[00:02:59]>> Oh, yeah. They need sugar water. They're halfway.

[00:03:06]>> All right.

[00:03:08]All right, guys. We have 41 hives that are queen right now. So, we are golden for the season. For right now, we're good. Hang out. Maybe I'll watch a couple hives. see if any pollen's coming in yet. And uh we'll keep you updated as this season comes. Like always, be safe, have fun.
