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.

I went to the beekeeper's house today and learned a little about what the hives look like and how to identify the brood and honey, the pollen, the queen and workers and drones.  I'll order some hive boxes and put them together in time for the relocation of the swarm in a few weeks.
