Papa brought the bees home on Sunday. There are about 10-15,000 bees in each hive.
Mr Wagner came over to help get the bees in their
hives. Mr Wagner brought two of his sons. (Tim
and Matt) The kids had a great time. Tim played
catch with Cade. The other kids jumped on the
trampoline with Matt.
First we had to get the hives ready. We had to get
some sugar water ready for the bees. Secondly, The guys had to get dressed for the bees. Then we put the queen in the hive and dumped the bees in.
The gray hive is the north hive. This hive belongs to Queen Victoria.
The south hive is the white one. This hive belongs to Queen Isabella. Mr Wagner dumped the bees into the first hive. Papa dumped the bees into the second hive. It was so great to see God's amazing creation this close up. We were really pushing the limit with how cold and late it was. But God was gracious. The bees just stayed in their hives and buzzed away. One bee climbed on my chin. And one bee got up Papa's pants. (It stung him) I guess he is an official bee keeper!
