As if we don't have enough going on,
Mr & Me
are officially beginning beekeepers!
This is something that, for the past several years, I've thought I'd like to try.
So, here we are building a house while he works full time and I finish up school
and we throw one more project into the mix.
Just keeping things interesting around here.

Cowboy, Cupcake and I picked up our
Italian honey bees on Saturday afternoon.
I installed them into their new home up near the top of our property
on Sunday evening while Dean, Cowboy & Cupcake,
Natalie & Jay , and Aubrey watched from a distance.
It was very exciting.
When I made preparations for the queen's release from her
"chamber" and into the hive last night, I'd taken my iPhone with me
to get a few photos.
That didn't work out so well even though I had the camera open
before putting my gloves on.
I went back up this morning to see how things were going
and took my Rebel with me.
The queen's subjects, it appears, are still working on her release;
it seems so, anyway, because her chamber was surrounded with workers
as if they are still feeding her.
I will check again tonight.
Here are a few photos...
There ya go...
now you've been introduced to
The Bungalow Bees.
I'll get back to regular posts about progress on the
house before long.
Thanks for stoppin' by.
