I checked the hives, nope, all bees are snoozing in the garden. "Must be a swarm from another hive," I told her. After calling my good buddy Joe Hess who wasn't around, I called the godfather of bees, Vilnes Mattison, a wonderful gentleman who really knows everything you need to know about bees. After quickly conferring with him, I drove into the back forty with ATV to grab the extra hive I kept in the apple orchard. I guess this post is really for Cherry Plain Farm blog but anyway, we put the extra hive up on some ladders with some queen scent and hopefully those swarming bees will move in. It's a long shot but like my neighbor said, "There's not enough honey bees in the world..."
They do love their flowers :)
