The bees had swarmed. There is a good side and a bad side. The good side was they didn't get too far. The bad side was that we had to catch them and put them back in a hive. I immediately said, "I've got to call my Uncle Ted." He wasn't home and I grabbed the BeeKeeping for Dummies instead. Jim just shook his head and put his suit on and headed out to the yard. I of course made sure to have my camera and followed closely behind. We dragged a ladder out and a new box and Jim climbed up the ladder and brushed off what we could while I held the box. Believe me there were a ton of bees that were not to receptive to getting into the new box. We put a screen on top of what we had and while I held the lid to the new box up, Jim poured them in. A couple of trys later, they finally seemed to settle in.


Just when you think things are going great, life happens. . . .Off to market again tomorrow hope it goes well.
