Bee swarm and Liquid Gold 2011

our bees swarmed and formed this group in the tree. then later they went back in the hive. We had cut down a tree that was shade to the hive, so we figured the bees were suddenly too hot, so after that we put up a barrier for shade

Busy as a Bee !!

The helpers made up their own game!

Harvesting the Gold...liquid Gold!

Using a hot uncaping knife

Getting off the wax

Using a comb to get off bits of wax

Now Craig and Hope are turning the honey extractor, in which are 3 frames of honey

Here comes the Gold! Thankyou to all the bees who gave their lives so we can have this honey, and most of all Thankyou Jesus for creating the bees and allowing us to learn about bees.

The Bees arrive

This is how our bees came in the post Office. The staff there, were quite amazed!

Cookies

Yummy Cookies...those Yummy Cookies!!! Not!! These are cookies for the happy bees! they are made of sugar, and shortening and are the bees to nibble at to get rid of mites on them. And No, I didn't eat one! I don't have mites, thankyou!

Pics

This a honey distractor. We will find out in the fall, how to use it. I know that the honey will come out the bottom, out of that spout. There's Hope, painting the hives a light green so as to match its surroundings. I think what she is painting , is called a "deep".
