Andrew’s Bee Blog

I just stumbled on this site from Haagen-Dazs. Check it out!

So yesterday, I was up at my parents for a family party and Will, Emmy and I went down to look a the swarm hive. We were just peeking at it and I decided to peek into it to see if I they had been working on the third super. When I opened the top just an inch or so, a bee came flying out right at my sleeve. Of course, I wasn’t to smart doing this in a t-shirt and shorts with no veil on either. I thought the bee had just flown off, but a minute or so later I felt it crawling on my arm. I waved my frantically to get it off and it took off at Will. Will spun around and the bee then went after Emmy. Emmy started shaking her hair, as if she were headbanging and ran for the garage. The bee buzzed her most of the way up to the garage. Will and I were laughing our heads off. It was pretty funny.

The bees were all they way to the top of the third hive body…time to add another one!!!
