oh, beehave!



The honey bees did something very strange - they swarmed in the grass near their hive.  I called the bee guy and asked what he thought of this unusual behavior, and he had no explanation.  My theory is that for some reason the queen went outside into the grass, and everyone followed her.  We're still having frost in the mornings and if the bees remained outside they would die, but the solution was simple:  remove the bottom of the hive and drop it on top of them.  I hope they make it.
