OH bees

Well todays inspection was a bit interesting. My left hive hates me, my right hive is calm as ever. When we opened the left hive today it was the sign today was not a good day for them. They were instantly on my gloves trying to sting whatever they could. They are slow at making honey, which is fine if I don't have to deal with them when they are angry I will be ok. 

Thankfully my mom was there to help, sweaty as ever, she was a trooper without the bee suit. One little lady got on her and she moved so it stung her. 

After we finished up the left hive it was time to book it out of there. I was hot, so I decided to take my view off. That was not the right answer. I was stung on my cheek. So here is to hoping it doesn't swell up. It is a good thing a little bee sting won't stop us from visiting the ladies again.
The right hive is well on their way to some good looking honey.

So many people comment "I just don't know how you do it"....well I don't either but I have to say the joy these ladies bring to me is amazing. 

Its like therapy. I look forward, it send a little adrenaline rush to me, its something that takes time, research, and trial and error. I also have found the garden has been doing so well and I really think its because these wonderful pollinators are doing their job. 

This year we have had so many vegetables in the garden thriving, and producing so much food.

Watching the growth from week to week on inspections is like no other. There are days when the inspection doesn't go as planned, and I worry about what I should do next. 

So here is to hoping next weeks inspection goes well. My momma is going to join and I seriously love sharing this hobby with her.
