bees

Today started off as a regular sort of day, errands moving stuff around etc and then we went with Jerry and Jen to reinspect a tree down the street. The tree was a globe willow that had split in two exposing a hive of wild bees. We hauled off the log of the broken section a few days ago. this fall when it split jerry put mite strips in and sealed it up from the full exposure. Unfortunately for the bees they did not survive the winter. Fortunatly for us they left lots of honey. We started digging in and pulled out pound after pound of honey comb, wax and some pollen. It was beautiful and amazing
