We went to look at a buggy for Beauty to pull and met a lady who raised bees. I mentioned that some honeybees had taken up residence here and needed a hive. Judy, the lady who was showing us the buggy, said she had some and gave us one.
We got it cleaned up and set it out in the bird garden under a tree. The other lady said to put some sugar water out there to attract the bees. I have that done but have not moved the bee hive yet. I am hoping she will find someone to come help us get set up.
I am excited to have the hive and although she said it would be two years before we would get any honey, I am happy that at least the bees will be safe here.
