Bees

I was devastated to learn that the nucs we had ordered had been canceled due to wet and cold conditions. My hives were finished, stenciled and waiting. The birdbath for extra water was bought and set up beside the stand. I was really sad. However, I guess it is true that when one door closes another opens, because a few short days later we had a swarm build in the siding on on barn. It was strange because I had been catching and turning honey bees loose from the milking parlor for the last few days and suddenly while doing morning chores they appeared.It was truly a fascinating event to watch. AND a wonderful beekeeper I know has secured us a nuc for May delivery.

Blessing abound here on the homestead!
