I have long been obsessed with bees. I have been studying and thinking about having my own hives for a while now... I have been waiting for a swarm of bees to come my way. Just when I thought that I had missed the season... I received a call yesterday that there was a swarm that needed a home.
We went to pick up the bees today in Boulder and brought them back home. It was a rescued swarm so it was basically a ton of bees in a cardboard box.
They needed to be transferred into the hive.
My friend June came over for moral support. She had just done this with her own bees a month ago. She was a a great help..
I put the QUEEN and the bees that were protecting her, into the hive...
Let the adventure begin!
