4 Day Weekend! Pics added

[Jared77]

I'm with Cat that seemed like a lot to get done. Congrats on the bees! Very cool door by the way. I may have to steal that idea if I can find an old door that I like. The other door idea that I love is up the road from us. They have this huge oak tree and they put a little wooden door at the base of the tree. Literally like its some kind of door for a gnome or hobbit.

We need bee pics!!!!

Jared, that is a great idea on the gnome door. I have a fairly large oak I can try.

My list will keep until the next weekend I guess.

Here is a couple of pictures from yesterday:

I forgot to mention that the bee suit was like being in a sauna! thank goodness the wind was blowing! Phew!!

We have this in one of our trees right now .... the bees have been here for at least 12 days... not sure how long they were there before we saw them!

Sweet Miss Daisy, by the looks of that comb- you have some permanent residents! A swarm that was planning on moving on, wouldn't build comb....They saw your beautiful piece of paradise, and stayed right there!

Well, they didn't pick a very good spot to build!!

Wow! I wonder if it is unusual for them to build right in the open?
