I hived both packages this evening after work. I'm happy to say that it went smoothly. Although I wore my jacket, I didn't need it. The bees were calm and gentle. Even putting my hand down on one or two didn't provoke a sting.
I did spray them with sugar syrup first, and I cut open the package to give them a gentler transition than shaking them through the feeder can hole.
The queens are long and black, and are marked this year's color, blue.
