A golden humming cloud of honeybees arrived unexpectedly one sunny June morning and moved into a knothole in the siding of the house. Three weeks later, Mr. E. helped these mysterious creatures into a comfy wooden box in his garden and began to live the lifelong dream of herding millions of stinging insects and collecting their sweet honey. Please enjoy the adventures of Mr. E's Mysterious Bees.

Building the Frames



The boxes of frames arrived today. I set everything up in the yard and started to build them. It has got to be the most time consuming and irritating process known to mankind if you don't have a work table. Or patience. I have neither.



Three different kinds of nails, wood glue, tacks. I have not even got to the part where you thread the wire through and fasten in the sheets of pre-pressed wax.
