Friday evening B0B Playtex and I cruzed into CR to the Indian Creek nature center to pick-up our bee packages, 14 all together.
That barely put a dent in the horse trailer load of bees that Doug brings to the Nature Center in mid to late April from California.
Checking out the Queen Bee before we uncork her to introduce her to the hive.
The guy are eager to learn about how to set up a hive and install a package this was my third of six for the day.
I was interested in checking out their sugar shack.
It was very comfortable, well planned and high tec.
The girls were all fired up to check out the new kids on the block. The girls were named after jazz singers and the little boys were named after guys from Starwars.
Looking forward to some fresh
chèvre in the future.
The next package went out to Todds. I was really impressed with his cabin set up.
And what a great place for bees.
You can see the hive at the lower end of the garden to the right of the post just under the cedar trees.
The urban bees have a great home too and what good timing. After last night rain shower Spring is ready to burst and the bees are ready!
What a great back yard to sit back and enjoy the bees and a beverage.
I finished up the day by setting up my hive at home and wouldn't ya know it... I got stung right under the eye. Oh well.
Some scientific studies have shown that bee stings may have medicinal
benefits. It is a fairly accepted fact that bee venom possesses
anti-inflammatory properties.
