Honey

Grandpa and Grandma left for their second home in Bear Lake around Memorial day.  He put me in charge of the Bees for the summer.  He gave away my bee suit to my brother matt so he bought me this wonderful bubble gum pink one to wear instead.  When I  went to check on them in June I  noticed it was so full of bees everywhere and I  thought I  saw white.  Which grandpa thought might be moths.  Justin said he thought it looked like capped honey. Grandpa had me take the hive apart to look in it but that was not a one man job and i didn't have smoke,I but i did open it and got stung twice and was able to see they were building out honey on the top of the wood hive so i called grandpa and he told me to put it back together and he would have to help me when he came down.  I  had to wait two weeks for grandpa to come home and help me.  (He came down for Shaylee's farewell). Well, why were were looking for the white stuff  we found honey everywhere and it was capped honey and there was nowhere for the Bees to go.  So we drained our flow hive and got about 26 jars of honey from that.  We also have a full white box of honey and so many bees.  It took us most the morning to get it taken care of but we are all so excited for all the honey and how good our bees are doing.  Dad said we might have to add another white box for the the bees to have more room so they don't swarm.  I  think we should.
