How to install a package of honey bees! | Maddie Moate

In June 2022 I had my first package of bees arrive in my own back garden! I've helped my mum look after bees for years (some of you have seen lots of our videos already) but this was the FIRST time I have ever had bees of my own. When I filmed this, the priority was making sure that the bees were happy and calm, however we filmed as much as possible so you can get a sense of what the process is like.
