Honey bees!

Today, we spent a great deal of time at the farm.  Demolition has been underway since May 1.  It is pretty exciting!  The summer kitchen has been torn down to make room for the garage and mud room, and the footers have been poured.  It is amazing all the odd ball things that are discovered when an old building is torn down!

Even though we have a lot of work to do inside the house, we decided to work outside.  One of the first things we did was check on the swarm that was caught in April.  As you can see from the top right picture, the bees are doing really well.  They have already brought in a lot of honey!  This is good news for everyone who is waiting for Jason's Honey.  The bees in this picture are on a frame that we pulled out from the hive.

The bees have been extremely docile.  They really didn't mind us checking on them.  As you can see from the picture on the bottom right, they were just lined up to check us out.

Lots of good things happening at the farm!
