00:00I've been keeping bees here on Turkey Hill Road since 1976.
00:03I have two hives here that are brand new,
00:06and I've asked Ed Weiss, who is a famous beekeeper, to come here.
00:11Let's begin the process.
00:13We're a kind of safari hat-a-straw.
00:15You should always wear gloves.
00:17These are beekeepers' gloves. They're long.
00:19Looks like you're going to the moon.
00:21At this point, what we'll do, Martha,
00:23we have to spray the bees in order to give them an adequate amount of sugar
00:26to go into the hive whiz.
00:28I'm actually removing the can.
00:30What's in the can? The sugar syrup?
00:32The sugar syrup. There are bees here.
00:34Oh, yes, be careful.
00:35Yes. And now remove the queen,
00:38and you'll notice that they've already started to build some comb.
00:41The queen is in that little box.
00:43That's correct.
00:44The bees in the hive are now going to eat that candy out,
00:48so finally they release the queen.
00:50Put her between the fourth and the fifth frame, about halfway,
00:54and now when I shake the bees in, they're going to smell the queen.
00:59And by smelling the queen, they're going to stay here
01:01and start to work on that sugar candy to free her.
01:05Well, thank you very much, Ed,
01:06for reintroducing me to the wonderful world of bees.
01:10Thank you very much, Ed.
01:10Thank you very much, Ed.
01:10Thank you very much, Ed.
01:10Thank you very much, Ed.
01:10You
