Hi John,

One thing about bees is they ain't in no hurry!  Slow yourself down a bit.
Get yourself a wash cloth (rag) soak in the sugar syrup or a spray bottle
and hose the bees down in the cage.  They should become quite docile when
full. Bring a sheet or towel (white) and line it to the front of the hive.
Shake bees at the entrance on towel and bees will run right in (so have
frames and feeder in place). Now you can see queen cage out there grab
remove candy cork if there is one.  Stuff queen in the hive. Close up shop
and come back in seven days and remove cage and fill up feeder again.
Stings, well get use to them if your going to keep bees it's in their nature
to defend there home.
