Beehold, the Bees

On Wednesday, Don installed two bee nucleuses into their new residence on the southeast knoll of the property. They will be well protected from bear attacks, thanks to the electric fence surrounding them. They were moved into two new hive boxes, single story to start, with floors to be added as the family expands, and painted a traditional white...which they could care less about I'm sure.

I imagine what they really care about is having lots of blossoms, lots of nectar, and for this rain to stop so they can get out to collect it all.
