At this point Lefteris (the beekeeper) has applied a few coats of linseed oil to all the parts of the hive. He also painted the exterior with bright colors.
Next we wood burned the number of the hive using a burning stamp.
We went to the bee place and Lefteris prepared smoke using dry pine needles to keep the bees calm.
Next he took ready made frames from a grown hive and placed them in the new one.
We examined the bees for a while and we were pretty much done.
I want to thank Lefteris and Giannis for all the help.
You can also watch how the beehive was done here:
