Thanks to the list my first hive appears to be a success.  I put the
package in Thursday night and Friday afternoon the front entrance was
alive with activity.  Today there was a lot of activity in front of the
hive - lots of bees swirling around within 3 feet of the entrance.  I
could tell that lots of them had to "go" because there are a lot of
brown spots here and there.  The weather should be even warmer tomorrow
so they should be able to get a good solid footing soon.


I have another package arriving late next week for the second hive.  It
is about 5 feet away from the other hive.  The bees from the first hive
have definitely been looking around the 2nd one but I have all of the
entrances closed up.

You can see them flying around via some video I took with my camera:
