Honey Bees in our backyard

Honey Bees....

Made a home in an old vintage trunk

in our back yard.

 

Over 10,00 honey bees....

 

When Ken the beekeeper opened the

lid of the trunk the whole comb

collapsed!

 

He did manage

to save some combs to take home.

 

Ken is looking for the baby bees that will

be transported into this temporary

frame kit.

 

Look at those honeycombs filled

with nectar and honey!!

Ken was kind enough to leave

us with some honeycombs for

us to extract the nectar and honey.

 

He then used some sort of

vaccum to suck up all those

bees to take home.

 

He did say that the bees are not harmed

while doing this.

 

 

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

the honey is so fresh and tasty, especially

when it's from your own back yard.

 

It was a great educational experience...

my son and I were full of questions and Ken

was so patient with us and the bees.

 

I am seriously considering starting

a beekeeping hobby...

AFTER Fancy Flea of course.
