Bee Day

the queen

We're finally going to have a hive at work! We've been waiting all year for the right time to order bees and they finally arrived yesterday via our intern from last summer, Mike. He drove down from school, picked them up from a mildly disgruntled postal worker, and installed them in our newly reconditioned hive yesterday afternoon. It was a perfect day for it--partly sunny and around 70F. Mike is going to be coming out to help us learn all about bees and how to keep them happy this year. Fascinating creatures!
