We just got two bee hives installed by a pro. He set us up with established hives. They weren't thrilled about the hour drive down a winding road and the rainy weather. Definitely agitated and active when setting up the hives. I videoed from the inside of our greenhouse through a screened window that overlooked the hives.
Lesson learned: don't wear black or dark colors around the front of the hive. You will get swarmed! The smoker did calm them down.
Looking forward to the honey especially if pollenated from the lavender near by.
