I know it's been a while since I posted but I wanted to show you what has been going on. We have been taking a Beginner Beekeeping Class. It has been really interesting. And Greg and I both have been stung by the "beekeeping bug". We went to Frankfort and bought our hive and gear. Then our bees came in the next day.

We released them into their hive on Saturday, April 27th.

| Some of the bees didn't pour out so they came out on their own later. |

Then we went back 3 days later, on Wednesday, to see if the Queen was out of her cage. And she was!
We are hoping this means the bees accepted their Queen. This is what we found attached to her little cage that was inside the hive.
We are really enjoying this so far. Bees are amazing little creatures. They just know what they are supposed to do and do it.
Hopefully we will get honey, we probably will not take honey from them this year so that they have enough to get them through the winter. We will look in the hive again Sunday to see if the queen has started laying eggs yet.
I will keep you posted.
Have a great day!
Mae
