Tips for Going into a Beehive

I have a few tips for going into the hive that I share plus we get to check in on the Russian bees. The UPSP had originally lost these three packages of bees in the mail. They arrived one week later than expected. The queens were barely alive plus we only had about 25% of the bees in the package survive. We nursed them back to health and put them in 5 frame nucs to get started.
In this video, I am going to check on the queens for the first time plus clean out the dead bees from the package.
