backyard bee bonanza begins!

And the adventure begins! After buying and prepping the hive (soy sealant, with no harmful VOCs) and lots of back-breaking work by Scott to prep the platform area in the yard, the bees arrived! We had a limited window in which to get them transferred from the shipping box to the hive, as a high wind advisory storm was brewing. The weather may have helped, actually, because the drizzly and chilly air probably dissuaded the agitated bees from getting too aggressive towards the guy whacking them outta their comfortably boxed cluster.
