Good news: I got the message that my two nucs of bees are ready. By this afternoon I will be a #beekeeper sort of, in that I'll have them on my property if not fully installed.

Bad news: We just got back in town from spring break and I am a bit out of position and scrambling to be ready for them. I meant to get some fresh wax and recoat the foundation and that hasn't yet happened.

My mentor is giving me a call shortly so we'll see what he says. The fun is starting now!

@geniodiabolico My mentor was a champ. I drove my frames to his house, he applied a fresh coat of wax while I drove out to pick up my nucs. Then I drove back to his house and he followed me home. There he helped me and the kid install them while showing us stuff like how we had the smoker set up wrong and were doing our jackets wrong. Very helpful information.

My hives have begun!
