here's the BUZZ...

It took everyone's help, but we did it!  We built a BOX!

 

We have now increased our livestock to 8,000 head.

Seriously, there are 8,000 bees that live in that little hive.  Bees are just the COOLEST creatures ever.

Not so certain we will have much honey by fall, this year, but with a bit of luck and a strong hive, next year may be a bumper crop!

I placed the hive out in the yard, but away from the house, so I could easily care for the bees and watch their activity.  I got the hive installed and have looked at it once to see if the queen was loose and the comb was started correctly.  IT WAS!!

Next look will be next Friday.....can't wait to see what's happening then.  Hopefully, I'll see some brood.

Shoulda built some windows in that box!
