David has installed a frame inside his new office/garage where you will be able to observe the bees at work. A small opening to the outside allows the bees to come and go at will. It will have ten honeycomb frames when it is all up and running. The new bees will arrive next week. It will be great fun to observe the bees from the comfort of the garage but it will be a trick to get the bees into the new big hive.
The bees will arrive in the mail and while wearing his bee keeper outfit, David must, one by one, fit the five sets into the frame. He will do it outside, very carefully. When the glass has been installed in the garage, David will attach the hive to the frame on the wall, then slide the opening to the outside. Evidently, bees like the dark, so both sides of the hive will be covered with a board so the bees will be happy. But every so often, David will let us remove the board so we will be able to watch the bees at work making honey.
Several years ago, David read an article about allergies and honey. It said that if you eat a spoonful of local honey every day, your allergies will disappear, so David decided to raise bees. It has worked. Every day, each child takes their spoonful of honey and now they are no longer allergic. Magic and all because of the hard working bees, and of course to David's diligence.
