Gently replace the outer cover on the hive. Congratulations! You're done. But - one more thing! Make sure to record your observations in your bee notebook or journal. Believe me, you will forget the dates and details more quickly than you think.

Remove your suit, put away your smoker safely, and take a deep breath. You did it!
