Yesterday Maggie’s mentor came over and helped us set up the bee hive in it’s permanent location. Maggie painted it a very light lavendar color and we bought concrete blocks to keep it off the ground. It’s now ready for Saturday pick up time. There are 400 beekeepers coming to pick up this year! I had no idea this hobby was so popular. The pickup times are staggard by time and last name. Our mentor is going to be the one picking up for us. The bees were delayed this year because of the weather. Originally our bees were coming from Georgia but for some reason the bees that are coming are from California. I don’t know the story on that yet. I will update Saturday with more news. Possibly a picture or two. I’ve forgotten how to post pictures!
