Cheryl, your trip home with thousands of bees in the car for 5 hours was quite an exiting adventure, I bet. Any stings? I would be the helper, too. I love bees but I would probably freak out at the most inopportune moment and scare them all and then they'd attack me. But I am sure you will be all nice and calm. Have fun with your new bees and I am happy for you.
this is kinda silly, but that makes my heart melt.
I have developed such a soft spot for the little buggers over the years esp with all the probelms with CCD going on. i love that you have kept people updated on them.
I think they are definately going to be good for us..and I hope to keep the blog updated with our bee adventure come along and enjoy it from a distance with me... I can't wait for the honey!.

Good luck with your bees! They are very interesting to work with. Several years ago we had 3 hives, and the best honey. They ended up swarming after a few years. Sad. My husband finally gave the equipment to another fellow just starting up. I smile every time I drive by their place. I can see the hives from the road. My husband's little joke is: (you have to say this really fast.) "Would you like a side of bee for your freezer?" Our friends got a chuckle out of it since we do not raise beef.
