Dad and Lee checking up on all "the girls"Sorry I am such a good blogger that you will need to read this post backwards.
Home sweet home...... dad now has 4 hives in the backyard and two in Smithfield
It sounded like gallons of sand being poured into the box
Dad and Lee getting ready to pull the bees out of the tree
This is their new home - waiting for occupancy
I think I am pretty brave to go take this photo without a bee suit!
Three days ago I was watering the flowers under the apple tree. I was wondering why there were so many bees buzzing around because the blossoms were gone and the tree is all leafed out.... I casually looked up over my head, and YIKES!!!! this is what I saw; a huge (to me) swarm of bees. I ran in the house and shut all the doors and called my favorite beekeeper. I am including all these photos of the tree, so you can see the dark bowling ball sized swarm in the apple tree.
