yikes! I knew it was gonna be huge!


Today we unveiled the beehive and it was gigantic! We had the bee master out again because the first round did not take care of all the bees. So he did another treatment and we decided it was good enough. There are still bees buzzing around though. Not good. So Pdubs went ahead and removed the hive. It was even bigger than we thought! We had to throw away the wood because it was so plastered with beeswax. We learned a ton about hives, it is actually quite fascinating! We could see the different layers of larvae and pollen and honey, worker bees and drone bees. We didn't find the queen bee though. The girls have little pieces of it all bagged up and ready to take to school on Monday.
