Beekeeping – Not for Long!
A bevy of bees showed up in our front yard…
Much to Zachary’s delight who had already collected a few discarded bee hive boxes.
Not having a bee suit presented little problem for Zachary. In this outfit heat stroke was a greater threat than any bee sting could ever be.
But then kind Uncle A loaned him a complete suit, along with some supplies.
But you know what? Those ungrateful bees have absconded with their loaded honeybags.
Next time? Well, Zachary has prepared himself and is quite ready for the little apis mellifera’s. (laughing, as we rub our hands together in anticipation)

Wow, that's quite a sight! I've always thought I'd like to try beekeeping but never got around to it. It would be nice to have plenty of honey on hand. Do you get the beekeeping catalog from Dadant & Sons? It's http://www.dadant.com . I haven't ordered anything from them yet, but it looks like a good one.
