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.

Got em



Lots of mites.  Every little red dot in this photo is a dead mite.  The golden specks are wax and pollen that has fallen through the screen.  There must have been 30 or so on each board.  Not great.  That is a lot of mites.  I'll shower them with more powdered sugar next week and see if I knocked the population back.
