My son has this friend that came down to visit from South Carolina. He's been hanging out on the farm for a few days now. He helped out a bit on the horse barn which I really appreciate. Last night he was looking a bit bored so I invited him to put the suit on and come out to the hives!
I showed him the small hive where I just put this new swarm, then we collected a bit of honey from one of the other, more mature hives. The bees were a bit angry that I was opening their hive at 7pm, but we got through it. We only took 3 frames of honey for now ;)
My new temporary helper was a bit awkward with it all since he'd never done anything like this before. It was fun watching his reaction to the bees and the whole process.
I love sharing my farm, my story and my activities to help others get a different perspective on life!
