bees in a house in kitchener

.

Last night was interesting.... someone had contacted the beekeepers association about a swarm of bees nesting in the siding of a house, so I went with a fellow beekeeper to check it out. The pic above is the hive entrance, but we couldn't actually figure out where in the wall they were. So, they're still in the wall of the house. Until we figure out how to get them out.

backlit

.

Today I'll be taking my observation hive to my daughter's class! Should be fun. I took a sweet photo last night while checking them out (above). It was late and dark, and the hive was backlit by my back door light.

Why late and dark? Because everybody's home then. I need to lock them all in for safely transporting and showing the kiddies in the class. If I had waited until this afternoon, a lot of the bees would be out foraging (provided it's not pouring down rain like it is right now) and they would be very confused upon returning home to where their house once was.

Grade 2 here we come....
