I forgot to mention in last week's post a funny tidbit about my daughter Olivia. She is 3 years old and is very excited about our new "pets". She has heard me talk about them all winter... Anyhow, prior to last week's more thorough hive inspection, I suited up in my jacket, veil, gloves, etc. I told Olivia to stay outside the fenced-in area that the bees are kept and then went to work.
As I was removing frames looking for the queen and really causing quite a stir, I turned around and found Olivia standing right next to me. So there I was in all my bee garb and there she was in her shorts and tank-top! Thank goodness our backyard is somewhat private or otherwise I would likely have been charged with child endangerment! I do wish that I could have gotten a picture of that!
Hopefully this Saturday we'll get some more good pictures of the hives. I am sure Olivia will not be far away.
