5,000+ new pets

Since learning about beekeeping from our friend in Oregon, we have been fascinated with them and fanatics about using honey in every way we can.  When my friend Chrissy gave me the opportunity to bee-sit her hive this season, I jumped at the chance.  But first we had to move it off an office building rooftop...

This is the point at which you hope the duct tape is on securely!

 Here they are in their new location in our yard.  

A few days after the move they were bringing in lots of pollen as you can see on their legs.  

It took the bees a couple of days before they calmed down from the traumatic move, but now they are calm and happy.  We like to enjoy our coffee next to our beehive in the morning to watch them take their first flights of the day.
