Swarm


So, it's been a while since we last posted and a lot has happened... About a week after we got the two hives established, a friend called and said that she had a swarm of bees in her backyard on an apple tree. We weren't about to pass up free bees, so we went over and go them and set up another hive.

Shown here is the swarm, about the size of a basketball. The queen is probably in the center of the ball. They generally won't sting when they're swarming, but I put on my suit...
