Bees!!!

Here are a few pictures from our weekend bee escapades! We picked up 3 pounds of live bees on Friday and installed them in our hive that afternoon. It was a perfect day and all went as planned! As you can see in the bottom left picture I am standing there with our Beekeeping for Dummies book making sure we didn't forget anything. Bees really are fascinating creatures!!! I thought that I would be scared out of my wits with an open package of 10,000 bees but it was actually just really fun and I found myself more concerned for their welfare than fearing for my life :). It was definitely a bit of an adrenaline rush!
