On August 29th I had the pleasure of hosting the annual "bee swarm". We are a group of friends who are hobby beekeepers. Everyone came to my place and we enjoyed a BBQ and then we took a look at my hives.
 |
| The bees were very gentle and everyone seemed to like my hive lids. |
We also went through pictures that we had taken over the last year and shared our stories. I shared my video of the swarming and we talked about how to deal with swarming, etc. Everyone in our group had swarms come out of their hives this year (including a swarm on the day of the meeting)! Everyone seemed to be bitter about that.

We were fortunate to have a beautiful day and the bees were all on their best behavior. My girls made me proud!
