This is the first step to install a bee package in your new hive. There are two videos in this post, each will show half of the process. 

In this first video, I pull the queen out of the bee package and then remove the cork and replace it with a candy plug (a marshmallow). Then I install the queen cage in the hive box.

Next up--the drop! (That's what I call it when I dump the 4,000 worker bees in on top of the queen.)
