Description

Saturday Larry and I split our original bee hive because of too many bees. We removed several frames of brood and left the Queen with the original hive. This was Saturday. When a hive is Queenless and there are larve in cells the bees will feed one of the larva with Royal Jelly in which it will grow into a Queen..the cell is larger and looks like a peanut. In 4 days this what what's happening in our new hive. Our new Queen Atha (named after Larry's Grandmother) should hatch on the 29th of May. This is just the coolest thing I've ever been involved in.

I didn't heed the warning the guard bees were giving and sure enough they started coming after me...two of them. One got me...feels like a needle sticking you. I brushed the stinger out quickly so I didn't have much reaction...and not alergic, thank goodness. Whew! _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards

One of the women in the cycling forums that I frequent, also keeps bees on her property to make honey. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com
