April 23rd, 2008

Wow-Today started out with this swarm of bees, I was surprised they usually don't swarm until May. I guess the weather being so whacky has them mixed up.

Called the husband, wasn't sure what to do here by myself. Get a new House(hive) for them and place it under the swarm,placed a board to give them a "bridge" and then I just watched them for about 4 hours until Jay came home.Did not want them flying off to who knows where-----Took these pictures and some video while I was hanging out in the yard.

Then he shook them into the hive. Sounds simple enough, but I did manage to get stung just once, Not by this set of bees, the others that we have in Hives that were just flying around. Jay rarely ever gets stung.

Oh, YES they are Honey Bees-They work very hard for the Honey that we enjoy eating. Guess you can't blame them for stinging every now and again.

While I didn't get any painting done on the mailboxes that I have been working on, No listing placed in my store at ecrater http://www.mimieshandpaintedcraftsvariety.ecrater.com/ it was worth the time to look around and see How the Bees were acting, watching the dogs play, the ducks swim and to see how the fruit trees were blooming. The dog woods look so pretty against the trees that have yet to find the leaves this time of year.

I especially love my Crab Apple Tree-The blooms are Beautiful, from red to a pink.S

o many things we take for granted like how nature looks and really is a very natural remedy for any stress that you may have in your life.
