Julie Smith 5/21/2017 8:39 PMOpened the 4 bee hives. Brood, comb, honey and polen seen. Yay bees! Kudos to those little ladies. I make sure to have watering spots several places in the yard for bees. We found by accident that an old sock or hand towel, half hanging in a water bucket is perfect for the bees...they can land on the fabric, suck up as much water as they need, and not drown. -
