The Sunday bee pick up day went great. Most everyone got their bees and were on their way in very short order. The bees were in great condition. The weather couldn't have been better. Cool cloudy day made the day very nice for passing out bees.
Monday I will be passing out bees for the rest of the beekeepers that couldn't make it. There will be no pick up schedule.
Come when you can.

Always wear protective clothing and use a smoker when working bees.
