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.

January Inspection

A quick look into the hives in January in a beautiful clear light. 
One hive recovered from the foulbrood but the other is almost dead.  
We only found about 100 bees huddling in the box.  
Nothing we could do for them but wait for them to die.  
It was heartbreaking to see them that way and know we could not help them.  

These photos celebrate the beauty and light in the living hives.  
Spring is just around the corner.
