smithical - the mail came early today!

Wednesday, April 23, 2008

at 7:19 a.m. this morning the phone rang. it was the post office in our small little town (since the general store closed down last summer, the post office and the methodist church are the only thing in town next to several houses).

10,000 honeybees were waiting for us and i don't think they wanted to wait until our normal 3:30 pm delivery time to get them out of their office. kenny and rowan hopped in the car and went to pick them up.

spraying the screen with sugar water. it makes the bees quiet momentarily and then they goes nuts with their buzzing and walking/dancing around.

more later...we're busy watching and listening to all the buzz!

Oh my! I have had a bee phobia since I was a child. I think I'd completely freak having that many bees around! Still, it does sound fascinating, and I'll bet it makes for a great learning experience!
