Installing the Bees!

Picking up the bees at Corky's garage was really fun. There was a line up the driveway of eager beekeepers ready to start their bee families. 

So many boxes of bees ready to be picked up! Notice how the woman in the back is using a shopvac to get the escapees.

Steve checks to make sure our two new bee hives are cozy in the backseat.

They are buzzing up a storm!

Jim and Steve assess the location of the hives. We need to level out the ground in the corner of the yard to place the palette down.

Shadow makes sure that everything looks good.

Steve takes the paper off the pollen patties.

Shadow rolls around on the grass...

Steve prepares the smoker using newspaper and cotton.
