Activity After Dark
We got the call - the bees had to move from their holiday spot since the crop dusters were on the way. Well, the best way to move a hive is after dark, when they are all back home for the night. So we went out, taped the openings closed, tucked them in the van, and went for a drive to their new home.
You could hear the hives humming - they weren't too happy with us. But not one came out to get a drink before bed! We gently put them in their new home and out they came to see what was going on! Not too many people can say they have taken a road trip with bees!
