Yesterday I took out the box the bees came in. They had to be smoked because most of them were out of the boxes buzzing around. Today I smoked them again and released the queen from her cage. All the frames are in now. I'll give them a few days then check in on them. Matt was going to switch out routers but it didn't work so he had to re-hook what we had. He had plenty of help.
So, a couple of hours before I was to pick up my bees I decided to open the hive and get ready for them. I hadn't opened the hive since late last summer when we realized that I didn't have any bees. Anyway I saw a big mess. There was webbing everywhere in the brooders and in general it was a mess. A panic call to my bee guy, who didn't know what I was describing, and I decided to clean out the mess. And clean, and clean. An our after my bee pick-up time I left to go get them (they were an hour away.) After describing to the bee man (where I was picking up my bees) the mess, he said, "Moths. The old wire type frames are especially suseptible, every beekeeper get them sooner or later." And not a surprise since my hive has basically been inactive for almost a year. I had two choices, either I re-wired and waxed the old frames (taking them apart, etc.) or buy new plastic ones. $32.50 later I was done messing with the old frames. Had I known what I was doing I could have saved the hours cleaning the old ones in the first place. 
Mr. Hughes sells bees and bee equipment out of his garage in suburbia. I wasn't the only one picking up bees last night.
Since I got back after nine last night I 'hived' my bees this morning. After putting in some of the new frames (the old ones are stacked) I removed the feeder can to get to the queen and the rest of the bees. I had sprayed them with sugar water so they were busy cleaning themselves and didn't bother me.
I put the queen in and then the box with the rest. Then put on a feeder tray and closed up the hive. Hiving successful. 
Tomorrow I open the hive and remove the box the bees came in and add more frames. Mondy I open the queen cage and let her free. Honey will be on the way.
Mandy loves all animals.
The kids get to help Grandpa move the old railroad ties.
Critters were found, much to the thrill of some.
Hill-billy surfing.
Will waits to see if Grandpa will be back to drive him around.
We still have to level the boxes, bring in dirt, etc. and then plant.
Mandy and Trevor and the kids, Matt and Amber, and Nate and Krista and their kids came over for Easter and Conference watching. Getting the kids lined-up from youngest to oldest.
Everyone rushes out to find their eggs. Bingo joined in the fun. The eggs were hiden by the bunnies Matt and Amber.
Loads of fun.
Amber was out encouraging the hunt. 
Will would jam peeps into his mouth.
