<span style="font-size: large;">Good Morning... Happy .. err .. Monday : ? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I've been wanting to post some chapters for a while now. .. But I've seen how much better a book can get once it has been through the mad distillation and polishing process of the end edits, so I feel almost bad letting people read drafts, like I'm robbing them from the full flavor of the thing. But oh well, there's something kind of special about being invited to read a draft, too. The beginning chapters of the book are true to life, not philosophical text that needs pondering, just clumsy life, so I think this will do just fine for the time being. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> It seems appropriate to post this now, just after we've deeply fused our souls, and now our bodies and DNA into our loVe child, little Miss Lily. She's as pretty as a Spring flower, lively as a honey bee, and smells like sweet milk when she yawns ... I always lean in for a sniff when she yawns. So these pages tell the story of the beginning, when Juwels and I were still strangers and when any silly little thing could've knocked us off each others path forever, but it was meant to be, and we were meant to complete each other and save each other from life's cattle run and keep escaping down the side canyons and exploring the hot springs and tribal text on the walls. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I've been thinking about releasing this book by the chapter, and just posting our PO Box for anyone to send some loVe in the mail. This could help fund the blocks of time that I still need to complete the story and hopefully entertain a few of you in the meantime. We'll see ... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The working title is The Winnebago Diaries, but I'm open to suggestions. The story takes place over the past ten years, from when Juwels and I met to the present day - this fine Monday morning when Juwels is still sleeping off all the waking moments she sat up in bed to breast feed, and I'm listening to Neil Young's Decade in the candle pouring room, and getting up twice a song to rock Lily in the colorful Guatemalan hammock ... she's almost asleep, and soon she won't fuss when she stops rocking ; ) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I've written through all the strange places we lived in the beginning, back in those early days in southern California when I finally moved out of the desert to the coast to be with her, and in the book we'll soon be traveling through Asia and working the street scene in Venice Beach, which leads to the decision to buy the Winnie and set sail. So many great characters and events - can't wait to share them all : ) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> These are screen shots from the Word file I've been
working on for the past six months or so, and if you're on the actual
blog page, you should be able to click each one and make them bigger
(not sure if this is possible on the email blast). I've got about 24
chapters written, 200 pages, or half the rough book, and I'm eager to share
because I feel that anything you create isn't really born until it sees
the light of day, and not until it starts to form folds in the minds of readers as
they take it all in ... so here's Chapter One. </span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> If anybody would like to get on the list for reading by the chapter, send me an email at pollenarts (at) gee male d ot calm : ) I think I'll put them out three at a time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">loVe, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-p&j .. & lil Lily </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Friends,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Hope all is Blooming for you this Spring : ) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We just returned from a little rescue mission which took place down south in the desert. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> It was an adventure with all the trimmings. The last minute opportunity. The ill-timed hokey pokey over whether or not to go. The tight timelines, backup plans and unanswered questions. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We had chicken scratch notes, names and numbers of strangers to hook up with, hot dates with swarms of venomous insects and smoke and crowbars.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Juwels packed her ultra healthy road snacks and prepared foods, and advised me against my plans to start my <a href="http://thewinnebagodiaries.blogspot.com/2013/05/baby-food-fast.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Springtime Fast</span></a> before the trip, saying, "I've got my food and snacks. You can do what you want, but if you don't want to eat what I'm eating, you're on your own.."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This potential travel came on the heals of another. We had just returned home from a condensed trip to Central California, where we went to track down a very important piece of writing. We stayed in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJP33KKTav0" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">strange</span> <span style="color: #b45f06;">motels</span></a>, got funny sleep, and we were tired
and our spines had already started to calcify into that double-kinked
bench seat position from the Ford ... but we went anyway.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The bees were calling, one hundred thousand or more, fanning their wings toward the mountain and sending us their SOS pheromone. We had to save them from the poison sprayers. These days we have enough dead bees with Colony Collapse, bad practices and the chemical pollination rackets. There's been a lot of talk and research (and anti research from billion dollar pesticide companies), but we have our own ideas of a major contributor in the bad bee scene, and one that nobody's <a href="http://thewinnebagodiaries.blogspot.com/2014/03/sweetness-sorrow-plight-of-honey-bee.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">talking about</span></a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> So we left with heart and soul, and we
were feeling good and energized. The truck was spilling over with bins and empty hive boxes and frames, ratcheting straps, rickety ladder, smoker, sledge hammer, honey-sticky bee suits and gloves, and our ghost buster style bee vacuum.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> We were ready .. ish. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrak3Lrr_xqOvBwhVOhEiXBcHEvxegaUHslAl_Kc2MTSWeUthlSu5PAsuV4Llgea5s7ToI4cBFabzn7_ILv9PV0_bZAtNJ8FXTUkVQgsApFj1Xu-HBMbblOXIC8iZzfURuvWNEeqR9oxE/s1600/1.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We've started our swarm catching efforts for the season, and we offer our services for friendly hive and swarm removal free of charge. Of course it burns a lot of gas and time and materials, but we've found that people will spray the bees with a ten dollar bottle of wasp and hornet poison before they pay to have them removed, so we do it for loVe, and it's actually quite exciting!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We've been sniffing out leads and climbing trees, but not much is going on up here on the mountain at 7,000 ft. We've had a few wild goose chases, and I have a promising baited swarm trap up on the roof of a historic house downtown, but for the most part, the bees aren't swarming up here yet, still too cold and not enough to eat, so bees are staying put in their winter hives and waiting for the flow. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Technical Bee Info below .. fascinating to some, deathly boring to others, you've been warned: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Bees naturally swarm when they're healthy and productive. The way it works is that a hive will start to build up the colony in numbers, upwards of 50 to 70,000 bees, and they'll put away honey too. When they're running out of room, and they feel they've set the hive up well with food stores, they'll start preparing to swarm or split (roughly in half.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The Queen initiates these orders, communicating through pheromones, or lack thereof, and then the scouts hit the sky, looking for new locations ... in walls, planters, old tires, you name it. The scout bees go in, look around and literally take measurements. They announce these details back in the dark and crowded hive, (through interpretative dance .. not joking) and when they've found a suitable place, the Queen and about 60% of the bees in the hive, all at once, leave to setup another location. It's their little franchise system, with the main hive being the flagship location. Depending on the nectar flow and the size of their new digs, they'll build up the new location and then split again and again. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> In this situation, the old hive is now Queen-less, but the remaining bees are able to make a new virgin Queen with an egg or small larva left behind by the last Queen. They build a special cell (a bigger one that looks like a sugar cone) and then they place a tiny larva inside and pack the cone with royal jelly. Royal jelly is creamy and white, not much for taste but people use it in high end beauty products, and eat it as a super food .. and it truly is a super food. In fact, feeding an ordinary larva royal jelly, and royal jelly only, will turn turn it into a Queen, just from the special protein rich diet. All bees are fed royal jelly after they hatch from their eggs. But only for the first few days of being a gooey little larva, then they're switched over to a baby bee formula. This formula, mixed in the belly of a nurse bee, is made up of pollen, water and honey.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8pcmUIVirmYum8buVyF8ykfUnJwJhaAsfY0Dfka6vpEvi932VfDNwLhwPV_IteHtEOF9vbqKtYrczL5nEO0rsZojchkk8VWTReFdaXO-JytlqyADET3_OJsuEaO57wSTaqnaSSmH1Hj4/s1600/IMG_20140609_203623.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8pcmUIVirmYum8buVyF8ykfUnJwJhaAsfY0Dfka6vpEvi932VfDNwLhwPV_IteHtEOF9vbqKtYrczL5nEO0rsZojchkk8VWTReFdaXO-JytlqyADET3_OJsuEaO57wSTaqnaSSmH1Hj4/s1600/IMG_20140609_203623.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These are Queen Cells : ) </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> So the lucky larva who's chosen to bee the new Queen will hatch out some three weeks later, go off on a mating flight to meet up with Drone bees (males) from other hives (they never inbreed) .. and if she mates successfully, and doesn't get eaten by a bird or other predator, she comes back to the hive, and lays about fifteen hundred eggs per day (more than her body weight) and she repopulates the workforce once again, and on and on we go ... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Anyway, back to the narrative : ) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKRffjGuhW6A9P8hvmNMJBIbTNWfxy2fmroP0l5Ev1oRhJGgyxc-dKDFwcogVhA-PA9ls7q7LuO_uc7UiYKd_A9xaRV6K_oM62oncRA8nj4JAEcNrjbaeCneOkPTLVXpOGhSvo0XtkZX0/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKRffjGuhW6A9P8hvmNMJBIbTNWfxy2fmroP0l5Ev1oRhJGgyxc-dKDFwcogVhA-PA9ls7q7LuO_uc7UiYKd_A9xaRV6K_oM62oncRA8nj4JAEcNrjbaeCneOkPTLVXpOGhSvo0XtkZX0/s1600/2.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Even though bees are still laying low at elevation, it's been interesting to get out of town leads on bee jobs as the season progresses. Looking at the map, you can actually see the movement of the bees, starting way down south and heading north. First it was down in Tucson and Globe where the wildflowers and mesquite and cat claw blooms early, and then we started hearing from people in Phoenix, then Prescott. Wild bees are having a good year, and expanding their locations, but people find them eerie as they stop over in their trees, and they get scared when they start building comb in their overturned flowerpot or the wall of their shed, so they want them gone. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Flagstaff is still waiting to pop off. I've seen trees covered in sweet and delicate blooms, and fragrant yellow flowers sprouting up on the prickly holly in the woods, so it's only a matter of time before the hives start to swell, and bees start to swarm, but we're impatient and want to get our hands sticky now!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I've literally had dreams of discovering bees in people's eves and walls, and walking up to the door to see if we could get them out. We're obsessed, and the bees call to us. In fact, a few weeks ago I was down south visiting my parents and working on my book while Juwels stayed up on the mountain and read up on babies, and just before Mom, Dad and I were going to head out and walk the dog around their daily loop, my dad tells me that they know of a hive in a sprinkler box.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "We walk by it everyday," he says. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Bees? Are you sure they're bees and not wasps?" I asked.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Yeah, they're honey bees. They've been there over a year. Maybe two years, ask mom."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Yeah," mom said, "they're coming and going all day." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "And you're just telling me this now?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I had no suit or boxes, and I was heading home on an airport shuttle, but I figured I could at least scope it out and bring a box on the next visit so I could carefully remove those sweet bees before the landscapers get them first.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> As we rounded the corner, my dad said, "They're in the box right over there," and I saw that the lid had been ripped off and that the honey comb was laying all over the gravel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Hmm .. that must have just happened this morning," my dad said, "because they were here yesterday."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I crouched down and saw baby bees, still pale and greyish, hatching out into the harsh sun and finding no nurse bees to feed them. Honey dripped out of the broken comb, and brightly colored cells of pollen polka dotted the edges. It was beautiful, and it was ruined. I looked around and noticed that a strap had been tied around the lid of the sprinkler box and then looped over a low branch of a tree so the operator could pull it from out in the street and then run. They'd been there for over a year, pollinating the neighborhood flowers, and my parents had been walking past them everyday with their curious dog with no issues, and now this ...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> It took me a second to notice the buzzing, like a distant static, and then I saw a swarm of tens of thousands of bees all hovering around and clumped in an orange tree in the neighbor's back yard. The cluster was thick and beautiful, like a giant black and yellow striped strawberry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I ventured to walk around the block to the front of the house. I figured I'd knock on the door and tell the people that the bees weren't dangerous, just homeless, and once the scouts found them a new location, they'd be on their way. I found an older guy in the garage, working on the guts of an old desktop computer. He didn't know about the swarm in his tree, but we both walked back there and stood eye level with the cluster and I told him everything I knew. He said he'd leave them alone, and I said I knew of a guy who was right down the street who saved swarms and that I'd try and get him over there to get the bees before they end up trespassing in another odd spot.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I couldn't get a hold of my guy, and I couldn't stop thinking about the swarm. The comb was there. The bees were there. I could improvise a hive, or build one ... Home Depot was just down the street, but what would I wear as a veil? Back at the house, my mom was trying to ask me about a restaurant, or the baby or something, but I was elsewhere.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "You're thinking about the bees, aren't you?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Yep."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "The guys haven't called back?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Nope. They have day jobs," I said, "Do you have any mesh? Like a laundry bag or something?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> She couldn't think of anything, but when I went nosing around in the garage, I found a Costco bag that had mesh pannels, and when I pulled it over my head, it fit perfectly. Okay. Two jackets, gardening gloves ... pull my my socks over my pant legs, pull my hoodie up over the produce bag and tuck the handles down into my v-neck, and I'm in business.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I started to collect supplies for a top-bar hive made from an old cardboard Amazon prime box and wood stripping, but then figured I better go talk to the old guy at the house and make sure he was okay with me working with the bees in his yard. The whole setup was going to look pretty hoky, but to my delight, he not only said okay but had some tools and supplies I could work with, and he wanted to help in anyway he could.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I raced back to the house and gathered my stuff, and at the last minute, my dad decided to tag along.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Am I fine with just what I'm wearing?" he asked, "Should I bring another jacket?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "You're fine," I said, "You'll know if it's time to run." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We delicately collected all the comb from around the box, and in the man's garage I called out cuts and measurements, and within ten minutes we had the hive setup.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I showed my dad the cluster when we arrived, and I noticed some of the bees doing their "waggle dance." This means they were talking about a location. Was it a location of food to bring nectar back to the hungry swarm? Or where they talking about the location of a new hive? I don't speak their language, and the only pheromone I know of theirs is the alarm scent (smells like a freshly split banana peel) so I just hurried.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Do you mind if I cut that branch?" I asked the guy, and he showed me where the cutters were.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This would be much less disturbing than shaking the swarm, and I could be sure the queen was in the clump. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We were about to zip tie the last pieces of comb onto the wooden top-bars, the old guy and me, when I heard my dad out in the yard say ... "Oh. I think you're gonna miss them. They're all in the air. Yep, there they go ..."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I walked out into the yard to see a glorious sight, sad and glorious. Maybe 40,000 bees, all working on a universal consciousness, took to the air in a big black cloud and slowly flew away from me. I wished I could tell them they that I was going to save them, and give them a good home in the thicket of wild blooming trees far away in the desert, but all I could do is watch them float away.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I climbed up on the wall and stood there squinting, thinking I might see they might clump in another tree. I might need a ladder, but I had their hive and I had their babies, and they could just settle in and Juwels would drive down the mountain to get us ... or I'd sneak them on the shuttle, but they were gone.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Later, I rode my dad's bike up and down that strip, and looked in every tree, but they were probably sitting in the tree of some terrified family by then, maybe the subject of a phone call with an exterminator...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "I shouldn't have thought about it for so long," I said, but my dad said, "No... I think you acted fast. You acted as fast as can be expected without the tools you needed."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I will never again go back down to the valley without my suit and an extra box or two ... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I took the box back to the house, and pulled out what little wax I could drop into our wax melter back up on the mountain. I ate a little of the honey, but it was joyless, and I wished I could've done more. There are so many bees and swarms and flowers down south. We could expand our apiary by a hundred hives if we setup a base down there for a month or so. We could save millions of bees, but Juwels would never go for it. She overheats at that low elevation, especially now that she's pregnant, and we have candle orders and the goats and chickens to drown in our love and admiration ... but who's going to save these bees ! ? ! ? </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Up in Flagstaff, I started saving info on hive leads in Phoenix, thinking that if I got three or four together, it would make the hours of driving more feasible. I got two, then three ... but then one guy killed his bees, and another lady told me they "flew away", so I was down to one again. The remaining woman I was in contact with sent me pictures of the space that the bees had taken up. It was under a non-functioning waterfall in an empty koi pond, so easy to access at ground level, not like some of the jobs where you have to go digging into walls, and she said they'd been there for over a year so the hive was probably pretty sizable. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I waited a while longer, and tried to delay the waterfall job, but with nothing else looking too promising, I finally called a guy I found on Craigslist down south and asked if he wanted to take the fountain bees. He was new at saving bees, and said that he worked for an exterminator by day, and after killing hundreds of bee colonies, he was starting to wonder why he doesn't just start saving them instead.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> He told me that he was getting eight to ten calls a day down in the valley, and that he was leaving a lot of the calls unanswered because he just didn't have the time or the equipment. He was looking for swarms, just balls of bees that could be quickly knocked down into a box. He wasn't really interested in cutting out comb. I talked excitedly to him about doing "cut out's", and he agreed to take the fountain job ... or at least to look it over. I hung up the phone a little depressed, and I found myself looking at the pictures the lady had sent and kicking myself over the fact that I didn't get to be the one to lift the lid of that treasure chest and see what was inside. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The guy was supposed to go on Monday, but seemed a little hesitant, and when I checked in on Tuesday, he told me that he didn't go because he'd done two other jobs that were closer, and now he was out of boxes. This meant the woman I was talking to was still waiting, and I hate leaving people waiting.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Anyway, while I'm texting back and forth with the guy, he tells me that the waterfall job is still open, and that he has three other hives that people contacted him about, "So maybe it will be worth your time to come down for four?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Yes : ) !!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I told Juwels, and she was game, and the guy kept forwarding me more and more messages, and I lined up five gigs with one in almost every town we passed once we hit the valley. This was going to be a busy couple days... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The desert was humbling in its wide open distilled way. The arid lands rose and fell below the hot blacktop as we passed cactus, lizards, tumble weed and rattle snakes. The goats stayed home, but Shen our newly adopted little black dog came along to save herself the heartache of not being included. As a general rule, she hates bees, but she bears them to keep our scent close.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The GPS lady seemed to be hungover, or confused, and our directions to the first bee job took a loop. With some doing, we found it, and we also found out that the bees which we heard had started in a tree, and then to the the ground, were back up in a tree. This was a good sign, as bees on the ground are helpless bees (and normally weak from somebody spraying them) .. but these ladies woke up. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We found the clump on a branch and setup the ladder. It was maybe 4pm by this time, and I really wanted to get three jobs done that day. Impossible. Juwels went up the ladder and snapped a few pics of the bees, and as I was slipping my suit on, I saw her go running past me squealing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "What's wrong?" I asked.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Oh ... nothing," she laughed, "They're just checking me out. Where's my veil?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We suited up, took an empty hive out of the truck (I'd brought along a box loaded with old comb and soaked in organic sugar water for swarms) and I started trimming at the small branches to clear a path to the bees. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjswATNfHZCfBlt5lfJXOY__C_-HZqmL7CwUSl9KL_YD3RDGdRf1LcYgv1nQS5VSr5FaaGsD2z21B2iB-tlPacVL7-ZiKBWaJqLJMsPbdNadJYK78xyaliGvCEtPsSucIKDrfh8LaYbu5w/s1600/8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjswATNfHZCfBlt5lfJXOY__C_-HZqmL7CwUSl9KL_YD3RDGdRf1LcYgv1nQS5VSr5FaaGsD2z21B2iB-tlPacVL7-ZiKBWaJqLJMsPbdNadJYK78xyaliGvCEtPsSucIKDrfh8LaYbu5w/s1600/8.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The clippers were awkward and shook the branch when I'd get through, and all the bees would go into the air. My veil kept hooking on lower branches, and for some reason my legs were shaking. I got a good clump of bees down on a smaller branch, and set them into the hive and watched them climb onto the comb. Juwels talked to them, and called after the Queen .. "Where are you sweet bee? Let me see that lovely Queen of yours."</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> This is one of our Queens, she's in the middle/ right of the picture .. notice her longer body, and rich color : ? </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> As a general rule, if you get the Queen in the box, the others will start to fan a scent to the bees in the tree, and everyone will fly down and settle in (this normally happens right around nightfall). But we didn't even know if they had a Queen. The guy I'd been talking to said that they'd been there about a week, and that the clump was shrinking. There were dead bees in the grass, and although he admitted that he'd sprayed the bees with the hose, he said that's all he did. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I cut another branch, one which was almost too big to get through with the clips, and once I finally snapped through, all the bees went into the air. This was the third time, and I was starting to wonder if we should use the bee vacuum. The vac doesn't hurt the bees. We have it setup so the suction is very low, but it's not fun for them, and it's possible that a larger Queen could be damaged in the hose, so we try no to use it unless we really have to. But I had a lucky break on that last cut. I got through the branch, the whole thing shook, and the bees went in the air. But I was tucked up through the live branches that time, and didn't move for a second after because I'd have to kind of unwravel myself from the tangle, and in that moment, I noticed that the bees were all starting to land back on the broken branch, the one that I held in my hand. They must have marked that one with a scent, and as I stood there, frozen like a statue on the top of the ladder with my hand stretched and keeping the cut branch exactly where it used to be, all the bees landed back on it and on my glove.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> A minute later, I walked down the ladder with all the bees swarming on my hand and the branch, and I gently set them into the hive, and they all ate from the comb. We told the guy that the hive would have to stay in that place for the night, and that we'd be back the following night to tape the entrance up, and he said that was fine. With out finding the Queen, we strapped the lid down tight, so it would be ready for travel. We stuck a feeder of sugar water on top to keep then happy and fed, and off we went to the next job. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This job was an actual hive, not a swarm, which was a good thing since they'd have honeycomb, nectar, pollen and babies to setup into the new hive. This gives you better chances of the bees sticking around because they're moving into a furnished studio, so they usually just get back to work and go wherever you take them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We met the lady, and she told us that she'd been keeping her dogs inside because one of them was stung. She said she only noticed the bees in the past three weeks, so we thought the hive would be pretty new and easy to move.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I fired up the smoker with some pine needles just in case. (A note on smokers, bees communicate largely through pheromone essence, and a little smoke in the air basically makes it so they can't talk and organize against this strange masked mammal who's invading their hive.) The dog had been stung, and besides it's always best to have smoke because if you wait until you need it, it's already too late and things can get a little distracting. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I popped the lid, and the bees were very friendly. They were probably more distracted with the sky falling and all that, but in any event, they all pretty much stayed in the hive, protecting the Queen and walking around the comb. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> It was a small hive, about a quarter the size of the one my parents had showed me, and we got right to work. Getting the third hive was out for that day, but the mission now was to get this one done before dark, and dark was fast approaching. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> We tell people that beeswax, normally seen in gold, yellow or dark orange is actually white or off white when the bees produce it, and if you look at that far right panel, which is the newest, you'll see what we're talking about. Our candles get the color and scent from the mixed in pollen and honey during processing and harvest. You can see pollen packed into the comb on the top of that middle piece that's fallen forward, and the fresh baked bread looking stuff on the right side is capped brood (babies). </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> We can save the bigger panels by cutting them to size and rubber banding them into the empty hive frames, but the small chunks, like the stuff you see attached to the top of the lid can't be saved. We nibbled a little of this delicious nectar and pollen to get our blood sugar up, but the majority of it was saved to feed back to the bees. Then they can eat the honey and internally convert it into more wax in the new hive box, or they can just transfer it as-is into empty comb. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Juwels is the surgeon, skilled with the knife, and I round up the bees and get as many into the box as I can. I just scoop them out by the lose handful, and the more comb that she gets setup in the box, the more they recognize this new space as home ... all that's missing is the Queen. And if we don't get her in there, nobody else will stay in there either. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> I know it seems a little bootleg, with the rubber bands and all, but the bees will actually go in there and sew the pieces back onto the walls (like by the end of the first day) and then they'll continue to build in the empty spaces. When they have it attached they'll chew the rubber bands off, and drag them outside. They're amazing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We worked these bees carefully, and got everybody into the box. We had to use the vac because the last of the bees were getting under the water valves in the box, and it was impossible to reach them. When we left, there was maybe three bees left in the sprinkler box, and we strapped everything down, and told the lady we'd be back late the next night. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The next morning, we head out to a swarm that was sitting on a wall, The guy who contacted us said that he couldn't tell if they were going in the wall, but it was close to my parents house, so we just rolled over to take a look. It was a sweet little swarm, heart shaped, and I setup a hive box with old comb and feed and walked over to brush the bees in. They were sweet bees, and they ate happily from the comb ... but then we noticed the hole in the wall. The bees were covering it before, so we couldn't see, but once I'd brushed them off, we saw that they had a hive in the stucco wall. More and more bees came and went, and it looked like it was a big colony.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Bummer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We didn't have the tools to cut into the wall, and the wall itself wasn't owned by the guy who called us. It was the exterior wall to the community entrance and had a tile signed that read Greenfield Estates or something like that, so all we could do was shake the bees out of the box, and watch them crawl back into the wall.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I told the guy all I knew about why he shouldn't kill bees in a wall (the rotten comb and bees and nectar, which would bring roaches and stink and mice) and I told him that they were nice bees who didn't get in my face as I was breathing into the hole. He asked me if and when they'd go away, and I danced a little, saying how the population would shrink soon when they split, but we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed on that one ...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Next up was the waterfall hive. It was in the middle of nowhere, near the Superstition Mountains and a place I'd heard of as a kid called the lost Dutchman's Mine. The houses were sparse, and the yards were cluttered, and once again the GPS got us lost.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This is the kind of town where killer bees live, I said to myself but not to Juwels. We'd be in our suits, and we should be able to get a good reading on the bees before we open the place up. Just a puff of man's breath would send an killer bee hive into a frenzy, so I took my time prowling around the entrance before making any decisions. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Ah !!" Juwels yowled, still not in her suit, and I looked over to see her jogging over to the street.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "They get you?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Yeah, two stings already. They've got some good guard bees."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> She put on her suit but not her gloves (Juwels hates wearing gloves) and I smoked the bees a little and thumped on the lid of the fountain to see their reaction. A few bees flew around, but nothing abnormal, so I took out the sledge hammer, and started knocking some cement and river rocks lose. Juwels made me sweep off the board before I could pull it up, and when I pulled it up, I noticed that there was another board below.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I pried this one up a little, but the bees had really glued the thing down with propolis (this is a sticky antimicrobial substance the bees make from tree sap and resin .. brilliant stuff). I finally got it up a few inches, and propped it with a brick. I could see the comb, and as always in these situations, it was connected to the lid, so pieces broke and fell into the hole. I puffed a little smoke, but it was already too late, the bees came out in clusters like buckshot and surrounded me. They'd already fanned the "get him" alarm pheromone deep in the box, and my smoke wasn't covering the orders to attack.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I was down in the empty pond, and Juwels was still taking pictures on
the rim when they found her. She went running off in search of her
gloves, and I ducked down in the pond, half crawling under a small
bridge to gather some more pine needles for the smoker. I puffed clouds
of smoke, but it did no good. The bees pelted me, stinging through my
leather gloves a few dozen at a time.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I dared a step in, and pulled off the rest of the board and carried the comb out into the driveway. It was beautiful. They had so much honey, and huge panels of comb and babies and pollen. It was a massive colony. The amount of honey explained a little of why they were so defensive .. that and the fact that I'd just destroyed the home they'd been occupying for the past year. There's noway to let them know that you're not a bad guy because everything you're doing looks and feels bad. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> I puffed more smoke, and kept my hands closed in fists so they could only sting into the backs of my hands and not my palms. I eyed the zipper at my neckline, knowing that the pulls can loosen, and bees can get in if you're not careful (I normally put a rubber band on the two tabs to keep them together).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We'd left Shen in the truck, wanting to feel it out before letting her roam, and now she was stuck in there. Some of our supplies were stuck in there, too. The cutting board, knife, rubber bands, and an extra hive box that we were probably going to need if we were going to re-home this massive colony, but I was having my doubts. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Juwels was back and standing with me as the bees fell on us like hail. My gloves were sweaty, and that's the reason they clung so tightly and that's how the stingers got through. They just barely got through, just the tip of the stinger for a pinprick of venom, but not the usual attached barb and pumping venom sack that dumps more and more the longer you leave it in. These basically pricked, burned quickly, and then as I moved my hands, the leather would pull back and out it would come.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Gotta wear rubber gloves under these things next time, I told myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The interesting thing was that even though Juwels and I wore the same gloves, not a single bee stung through hers. Later I thought that they must have known that we were male/ female, and they've learned that it's better to focus the attack on the male because if you can chase the male away, the female will probably follow. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Juwels laughed, and I said, "Um ... we need to start really considering this thing."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "What do you mean?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "I mean these bees are frickin crazy. They're bat shit crazy. They're cat shit crazy. What are we supposed to do with them?" </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Babe, they're obviously not that crazy. They've been living right next to their front door for over a year and they haven't bothered anyone. They're just pissed that we've exposed their hive. They'll mellow out."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> I had about twenty stings in each of my hands by that point, and bees die when they sting, so it was true that the number of the guards were probably shrinking by the minute. This colony was massive, there might have been 70 thousand bees in there ... but I'd say there were only a couple hundred after me. If there would have been a thousand after me, enough to kill, then I think I would have tossed in the towel right then and there. That's what <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2MX7PtFP8M" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Killer Bees</span></a> do, they attack in lethal numbers, by the thousands .. but I wasn't ready to call these ladies killers. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> But I was still a little shaky ... could I really work for 4 or 5 hours with this kind of bad buzz? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> "I don't know. Let's just think about it," I said, and Juwels laughed some more. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> "First of all, my right glove has two holes ... they're big enough for bees to climb in, and I can't open my fist." </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Juwels found me a new glove, but I wasn't about to take my glove off there. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Just go take a walk," she said, "walk around the block and put them on and come back and help me cut this up." </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> "I don't know. It never looks good for a beekeeper to go wandering off in a neighborhood. That looks bad." </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Who cares," she said, "You're just taking a walk, and there's nobody out on the street. Just change your glove, and hey look ... they're kind of mellowing out." </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I looked down at my hands, and there was maybe fifteen on each hand rather than twenty-five, so maybe they were mellowing out. She was right that it was a huge hive with lots of honey, and both of those things can make a hive hot, not to mention that we'd just caved in their home, so I went for a little stroll and a block later, with only three or so bees circling me, I pulled off my glove and slipped the other on. The glove barely fit since my hands were already beginning to swell, and just as I was threading my hand into the long glove, I saw a bee fly inside first. She stung my wrist, and I just pinched the section where I felt it, and scratched at the stinger. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> But these bees had a lot to defend, and they had the numbers to put up a good defense. What a beautiful hive. I guess I was willing to give it a try. Work slow, and see how it goes. The panels of comb were big and unruly, and I hated the feeling of it crushing in my hands as I leaned into the open hole and lifted it out. Brood comb is kind of stiff, with a paper mache kind of quality to it, but the honey comb is so delicate and hard to handle that I'd cringe as I felt it crushing in my grip, but I played the game with Juwels, because the other alternative was the exterminator. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> When I returned, I noticed a car pulling into the driveway. It was the daughter of the lady who'd called us. I wanted to walk over and tell her that she might want to go around back, but then I'd bring the tornado of bees with me. I waved and walked closer to the car but kept my distance. She smiled, and rolled down her window a crack.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "The bees are a little hot," I said. "I'd just get in the house."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> She nodded and slipped out of the door, and I stepped back a few steps.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "You might want to run," I said, and she ran.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We needed things from the truck, but the dog was hiding out in there, all the way down by the break pedal. We stood next to the door, with Juwels blowing smoke in the air, and I'd rip the door open, grab a handful of supplies, and then slam the door shut. Shen would look up every time, but she didn't want to come out. Smart pup. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Juwels got right to work mapping out the perfect cuts, and doing it in such a way that almost nothing useable went to waste. We filled frame after frame, and I was surprised when I realized that the guard bees had all given up ... or died stinging my gloves, but it was pretty quiet. Well, just before the black clouds started blowing overhead.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Is it really going to rain right now?" I said, and Juwels just kept her head down and continued working.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> When she'd filled a box, I went over into the hole and swept a few dust pans of bees into the box. If I got the Queen in, the rest would start marching in, and that would make things a lot easier, but that didn't happen. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We got a few sprinkles, and a bit of wind, but luckily no storm. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> All that capped stuff at the top is finished honey. I stole a bite while hiding around back of the truck and it was unreal ... cactus, candy, flowery madness. They must have had 30 pounds of honey, and we saved it all to feed back to them as well as to some of the smaller hives we were picking up. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> That white bucket was full of water, an essential on a sticky job like this. I must have washed my gloves in that about fifty times. Juwels stayed planted there for hours, chopping everything up and putting it back together. The idea of this overwhelmed me, but it was a kind of meditation for her. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Shen came out once the bees mellowed, but a few still followed her, and I had a good laugh when I saw the technique she'd developed to shake them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The grass was tall and tangled in the yard, and Shen would dive below, and then come up like a dolphin and then dive again, brushing the bee off the long fur of her coat. This only happened once or twice, and she was never stung. After that, she had fun chasing big lizards, and slept in the shade of the truck. She's a good little helper : ) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I used smoke at the bottom of the hole to drive the bees up and out. It worked okay, but in the end, we'd have to bust out the bee vac. On my third Huge dump of bees from the vacuum chamber, Juwels peaks into the pile of scrambling bees in the box, and squeals, "There's the QUEEN!!" She gets so excited when she spots a Queen. It's kinda like seeing a celebrity (but better). Juwels is so good at finding the Queen. She has an OCD eye for picking out something slightly different. All those childhood years of laying on her stomach in the grass searching for four leaf clovers probably help, or maybe it's just that same childhood super power : )</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I was impressed that she found her in the midst of thousands of bees. It was seriously like picking out an atom in the thousands of near identical bodies ( the Queen is bigger, with a long pointy butt, and lighter color ..) And we had her ! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> From there, the bees marched in. I smoked, and swept, and scooped more handfuls, and Juwels got the last of the honey put into the frames. It took about five or six hours and my hands were looking like catcher's mitts, but the job was a success and we sealed them in, strapped them down and hit the road.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We still had another job to do, plus we had to pick up the sprinkler box and the tree swarm on our way out of town and back up the mountain. I was going to need one of those rare cups of coffee to get through this night. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> They call this "bearding" .. when the bees hang all over the outside of a box. Normally, they're just trying to free up space in the hive, and cool down a bit, but these ladies were just kind of hanging out and wondering what the hell just happened. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> There were maybe twenty bees hanging on the outside of the box when we loaded it up in the truck, and amazingly they hung on at 70 miles per hour on the freeway. We Googled a health food store and went in search of a couple chilled grape kombuchas, and I had to laugh when we stopped at a light and I noticed a few bees hovering around the hive, and I saw all the people behind us frantically rolling up their windows. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The last job was this wild hive in a overturned flower pot. It was the perfect bee skep, with the bees coming and going from the drain hole. The lady was super nice, and said that we could take the pot back up to Flagstaff, so we could transport the girls as is, and cut it up another time ... or maybe we'd leave them bee and let them build like the old bee skep days?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> It was great that she was up and available to welcome us at close to ten at night, and she had a great little scene going when we walked back into her yard - plants everywhere, loungers and little hangout spots, candles burning in old mason jars, incense burning and Tracy Chapman playing on the outdoor speakers. She was a retired biker babe, taking it easy in a little redbrick cottage in Gilbert, AZ, and she said she'd read a bunch of our blogs after we started emailing about the bees. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Since there was a small cluster of bees bearding on the top of the pot, we couldn't just seal off their entrance with duct tape and metal screen like we had originally planned .. so I thought for a moment on how we could improvise to save all of the bees. I thought about using the smoker, but that might drive more bees out of the hive and into the air.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Do you happen to have any old screen or mesh material?" I asked the lady.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> She didn't think that she did, but we all walked back into her garage to see what we could find. I noticed a clothing rack with a large piece of sheer mesh-like fabric draped over it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Do you have anymore of this material?" I said, testing it between my thumb and pointer finger.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Take that! You can the have the whole thing!"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Perfect!" </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We said we only needed a small piece, so she grabbed us some scissors. As Juwels cut out a square, she unveiled an awesome vintage leather jacket hanging on the end of the rack.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Sweet jacket!"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "You like it? You can have it! Try it on."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Are you serious? No .. you can't just give this to me?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Why not, I haven't worn that in years, and it's sat through the last two garage sales. Try it on."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Oh my goodness .. you are too nice!! I don't think it will fit over this baby bump .. but I can't wait to wear it after the bambino comes."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> As I walked off to cover the hive, Juwels and the homeowner were rummaging through the clothing rack. The woman kept pulling clothes down and asking Juwels if she would wear this or that. The netted fabric worked perfect as a shawl for the hive. I just put three rubber bands around the lip and all of the bees were still safely sitting on recessed top of the pot : )</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> On my way back into the garage I found Juwels holding up some kind of silk nightgown. "Well, it looks comfy. I guess I could wear it around the house." Next thing I knew, I was trying on a well worn soft brown leather jacket. The lady was having too much fun showering us with gifts, but it was getting late and we still had to pick up the last two hives and get home.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We went out to the truck and grabbed the scrap piece of wood which we'd brought along as a bottom board, slid it under the clay skep, strapped it down and hit the road. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We got lost again trying to get back to the sprinkler box hive, and I was starting to get upset over the idea that we really had no clue where we were going except for the faulty instructions from the voice in the box ... this robotic woman who was clearly drunk and out of it, but we finally found the place.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well, kinda ... the first house we pulled up to in the dark looked familiar. I noticed that the lights were still on and I thought, "Oh good, she's still up." But as I walked through the gate and into the backyard with little Shen following me and a flashlight in my hand, I realized that I was mistakenly entering the wrong place at 11pm. I heard noise in the house and I turned tail and walked back to the curb. Juwels, again, was laughing at me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "The house is farther down," I said, walking up the block and not looking back. "Meet me up there, okay? Drive."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I figured we wouldn't need bee suits just to tape this hive off and carry it away, but when I walked back there ahead of Juwels, and flashed the light back over to the sprinkler box, I saw that most of the bees had come out of the hive, and they were back in the box, all hanging in a clump.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimiWjPYHYZpZhjeiKhnLokCEXBTtj-qqY15qFiI2tH-30ETTtcKxpgB08ci0WEBsJMgY4iqdCGhnGdRNbtfZWNPZl5woZy2uxmnsIZdz61dcovAagnaLHkvQ5TaJ6QEX6A8HmGFoMWKmQ/s1600/41.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimiWjPYHYZpZhjeiKhnLokCEXBTtj-qqY15qFiI2tH-30ETTtcKxpgB08ci0WEBsJMgY4iqdCGhnGdRNbtfZWNPZl5woZy2uxmnsIZdz61dcovAagnaLHkvQ5TaJ6QEX6A8HmGFoMWKmQ/s1600/41.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> What is this? Right now? In the middle of the night when I still have another hive to pickup and three hours to drive up the mountain? But there was no wishing them back into the box, so I just walked back out to the curb and told Juwels what was going on. I said that we needed to get suited up, and figure this out. ** I should mention that we're not night people ... and we normally don't stray from our little mountain town, but we're good with this game show kind of madness, so we got right to work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I didn't want to scoop them up in my hands the way I did last time, because then we risked them flying into the air and landing on everything, and we'd never get them into the box that way. I looked in the strapped hive with a light and was happy to see that some of the bees, nurse bees I'm guessing, had stayed on the comb to keep the babies warm, so we just sealed them in with tape over the entrance, and thought some more about the swarm in the sprinkler box. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Once again, if I just had mom's mesh laundry bag that I remember from childhood, I could have shimmied it under the teardrop of bees and taken them out that way. I even thought about sewing up a veil, and doing it with that, but it was too small and the space was too tight anyway.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The lady of the house as still up, so I sent Juwels to let her know what was happening, and ask if it was okay if we ran the bee vac .. it was really the only way. She said it was fine, and I began gently sucking at the cluster from the bottom, and the chamber started filling with bees. They didn't stir much since it was dark and I was careful not to disturb the bees who were up on the edge, and a little while later, we had nearly everybody in the chamber. I started to get sentimental and wanted to get every single bee, even the ones that were hiding below the pipes, so I kept at it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> While I was working with these last girls, elusive little buggers, some of them crawled up the wall and disappeared. I turned off the vac, and stuck my head into the box and shined the light up into the place where they'd gone. I saw more bees hiding in a little overhanging ledge. We were going to seal the lid for the lady before we left and tape off the hole, and there were too many bees up there for me to just seal in to die ... so I went back out to the truck, lit the torch, stuffed the smoker and came back to to smoke the rest out of their hiding spot.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I puffed smoke, and some came out, and I sucked them up. The smoker went out, and as I paused to relight it, I thought I heard something in the box, like a squeaking. The Queen talks, or they call it "piping." I've never heard it before, so I don't know what I'd be listening for, but I did hear something.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> With the smoker going again, I smoked and sucked and sucked and smoked, and I swear I heard that sound again ... or was I just going mad from too much smoke and venom and the buzzing of too many bees? It was midnight, and there was really nobody else home .. maybe five bees, and just as I was about to call it quits, I puffed a few more clouds up there, and guess who comes strolling out?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Her Highness.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I blinked when I saw her down there. She was plump and reddish blond and lively, and another worker bee was grabbing at her and trying to pull her back into hiding. This was the reason that all the bees came back out of the hive. Because the Queen was hiding under that ledge. And now we had her .. but wait ... how do we get her? The vac was off, and I didn't want to suck her through the tube anyway, so I just reached my hand down there and she crawled up onto my glove. I didn't think she'd do this and when she did, I didn't really know what to do next.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Quick," I said, "Open up the chamber."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> And Juwels did.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> She pulled the hose out, exposing a little hole, and I held my hand over there, and the Queen crawled in with the rest of her friends ... or daughters. *** As a side note, the Queen is the only one who can lay eggs and make more bees, without a Queen, the colony will dwindle away and die, so it's not only important to get the Queen in the box, so everyone will follow, but also you need her if you want the hive to survive. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm2R90R09uyHjdf_KbHbmhQUUm6RBSI3sq0zctnmlQ3Mw3ixZ-nlsMK8Yc2_qwu_oNdI-C5RZfKHc1o9zkkFaEYzQd-nT2AGSTB9LaSh7IEzaoZ76k2g0w1fQMVirA7boVt0exWJBDeZg/s1600/42.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm2R90R09uyHjdf_KbHbmhQUUm6RBSI3sq0zctnmlQ3Mw3ixZ-nlsMK8Yc2_qwu_oNdI-C5RZfKHc1o9zkkFaEYzQd-nT2AGSTB9LaSh7IEzaoZ76k2g0w1fQMVirA7boVt0exWJBDeZg/s1600/42.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Back at the truck, we realized that Juwels had a clump of bees on her hat. In an effort to save every bee, we bundled them up in two veils and tucked them into a wind free spot in the truck bed, and believe it or not, they actually made the ride this way and were rejoined with their hive later. We didn't want the bees in the vacuum bottle riding in the back, since the her royal highness was on board, so we brought them inside the truck with us for the ride back home.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We didn't make it to the last pickup until a little after 1 am, but thankfully they had stayed in their box, so all we had to do was tape them up and pop them in the truck. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hallelujah! We've got all of the bees and are finally gassing up and heading home!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> (Juwels wants me to point out that the crooked hive boxes on the back right is just a stack of extra empty boxes and frames which we had brought along for extra jobs. We would never transport bees at such an angle .. their comb can break and it's just not nice..)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We didn't get home until 3:30 am, but we returned safe and sound. It was cold up on the mountain, and with some of the bees hanging out in the plastic vac chamber and others maybe too small and disoriented to cluster well and keep warm, we brought the three smaller hives into the candle pouring room and left them near the heat of the wax melter.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> There's a strange thing that happens when you've spent a long day with the bees, and it happens to both of us .. once you finally lay down for bed and close your eyes, all you see is bees. Not just the idea of bees, but actual bees right there behind your eyelids. Bees walking on comb, hatching baby bees, specks flying around in the air, and you can almost hear the buzz of the bees. It's like your brain has taken in so many tens of thousands of details that it's just playing a loop reel from your subconscious and forgets to turn off. Like the floating glow of a camera flash in your vision, the bees build a hive in your brain for a little while longer, so clear and fresh and vivid. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Our sleep was short, but we didn't want the bees locked in for too long, so early the next day we fed the small hives honey scraps from the big waterfall hive and got everybody setup on the back of the property. They did great, and they're already working hard : ) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Believe it or not, there's more to the story ... those fountain bees had another trick up their sleeve when we brought them down to hang with the rest of our bees at our apiary the desert for the wildflower bloom, and the tree swarm took a little working, but we'll tell you all about it in the next installment : )</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">alOha Friends : )</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We've been hearing a lot about the "Flow Hive" over the past week or two, and people want to know what we think. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We were considering just saying, "Anything that gets more people
interested in bees and beekeeping is good by me" but then we kept
thinking .. and here's our thoughts. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The short answer is .. we're not into it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> But here's more .. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">_______ </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A Note to new friends visiting *** I know this article is being passed around to a lot of people who don't know or follow us, so here's a little background on what we're up to.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We're p&j (peter & juwels). We're beeswax <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/pollenArts" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">candle</span></a> makers and small scale <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fairsharehoney" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">beekeepers</span></a>. We offer free wild hive and swarm removals in the community, and all the hives that we keep are started from wild bees, not mail order.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Here's a short bio video on the pollen arts family: </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">.... continuing on </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /> As with most of their marketing, it's all about the honey .. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I'm seeing kids carrying Gallons of honey, and big bottles being drained from small hives. It feels a little like a gold rush, enticing people's greed and amplifying excitement through their lack of knowledge. Because when it comes down to it .. if you're going to leave any honey for the bees and the bee babies, you don't get nearly what they're showing. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This pic shows a 5 gallon pail coming out of a two stack hive ?? A thick hose tapped into every frame : ( </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Looks a little <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfGMYdalClU" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Orwellian</span></a> to me. The box below the one that's being drained is called the brood box, "brood" is babies .. hungry babies, nurse bees, workers & the Queen.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> First of all, you can't get 5 gals out of a single box - that's just marketing - and secondly, if you <i>did</i> drain it ... what would the colony eat </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">downstairs </span>??</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This product seems, to us, unnecessary, misleading, </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">more disruptive,</span> and especially dangerous in the way that it's telling New-bees that hives need no care, and that, like a soda fountain, you can just turn on the tap whenever you want. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This is not the way we should be selling people on beekeeping. I'm seeing a lot of people spending a lot of money only to have their hives starve, swarm away, or be taken over by moths or beetles or mites while the lazy beekeepers twiddle their thumbs and waits for the flow. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> There are many potential problems and heartaches when it comes to keeping bees .. but harvesting honey is not one of them. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/WbMV9qYIXqM/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WbMV9qYIXqM?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Here's the pitch video for anyone who hasn't seen it. The whole premiss of the product is that we don't have to open the hive and "stress the bees" but then they claim to have a symbiotic relationship with the bees ... how do you do that without opening the hive? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Any good beekeeper's going to open the hive, and maybe with this gadget you don't have to open the hive on that one occasion to harvest the honey, but this process, rupturing thousands of cells while be bees are at work, causes a lot of destruction and chaos in the hive, and it's only easier for the beekeeper, not the bees. For somebody who truly cares about the bees and wants to treat them well ... you'd be better off doing it the old fashion way and putting in the time to do it right. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The flow hive claims not to disturb the bees, but the way it's designed, when you turn the crank, it actually breaks apart thousands of artificial cells in odd places inside each comb, and then the bees have to clean up the mess and produce more wax to sew the whole thing back together.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> (If you're confused about this, watch the pitch video up there and skip to 2:11. There you'll see how the inseam breaks, and these are constantly re-broken during harvest ..) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> When you harvest
traditionally, only the caps are shaved off the comb and then they're spun in
an extractor. When the comb goes back in, the walls are all fully in tacked, and the comb only has to be filled and capped, not laboriously sewn
back together like the flow design. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Which seems more disturbing to you?</span> This thing's being sold like it's better for the bees, and that's just not true .. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> With a first-year hive, in these days of drought, your biggest issue will most likely be How to keep
your bees alive when they're running out of food, not how easily to take
their food away. We live in the desert, and nearly All of our first-year hives ran out of food, and we had to find the healthiest way to get them through the winter and keep them from dying or swarming. (We used organic evaporated cane juice rather than the less-than-food-grade corn syrup which was suggested to us.) So how much worse would this have been if we had this honey on tap, and just cranked the lever every time we saw comb filling?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> If and when you take honey from the hive is a thing that should be done with love and care .. not through the drive through window. You -have- to go in the hive, and the bees are surprisingly mellow about it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Here's a video of a Huge 5-year-old bee colony that we removed from a barn wall before the just owner sprayed them, and you can see the neighborhood kids, without suits or veils, eating honey from the comb and playing around. These are wild bees who aren't farmiliar with the hand of man. Do they seem disturbed? And this is with us cutting the whole hive up and moving it around. So how disturbing do you think it is during harvest time when the beekeepers just slide a few frames out and brush them off?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> As long as the bees have enough food, they don't fret too much on sharing ... but this invention seems to advocate taking without first looking in to see they have the stores to spare. Seems a little grabby to me .. .</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> **** Skip to 8:35 to see into the hive : ) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> So in my eyes, this doesn't seem to save the bees any heartache, if anything it just facilitates lazy, greedy beekeeping, and these guys are laughing all the way to the bank. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> For people who don't know much about beekeeping, staying out of the hive all together is a bad idea. You need to peek in there to make sure they still have a Queen, that she's laying well, to check for mites (and treat naturally if so ... garlic powder is a good way) also, wax moths can destroy a hive, and when we have the pleasure to go looking around in our hives, we know just were to look for moth cocoons (normally in the grooves under the frames) and we pull those little intruders out of there with a flick of the hive tool. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Staying out of the hive is neglect, period. And ... besides the benefit to the bees, looking around the hive and seeing the Queen laying, the nurse bees feeding, and the new-bees chewing their way out and emerging from the capped cells is a kind of bliss and meditation for us. We loVe gently moving through the frames and seeing into their world, and if you're keeping bees, you should too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Another thing that jumped out at me the moment I saw the design, was that you never want to harvest a frame of honey unless the bees have capped all the cells. The way honey works is that the bees move the flower nectar into the cells and then certain bees have the job of fanning the nectar (which is more watery than honey). This pulls the moisture out, and when the nectar is thick and dry and now technically honey, the bees will cap the cells for storage. With the flow design, all you can see is a tiny portion of the frame edge, but you don't know if there is still uncapped nectar farther down the frame. If you just tap the honey and too much nectar (watery nectar) mixes in, you can have problems with mold forming in your honey. Their drying process is very important, and they monitor it to a fine calculation, and we'd never harvest honey without first seeing that it's true blue honey, and you can't do that without popping in for a friendly visit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Honey harvest is fun if you've had a good year and built a strong hive! Have you ever seen somebody slide that hot knife through honey comb and watch the golden goodness flow out? It's as satisfying as popping bubble wrap ... honey filled bubble wrap, so why would you want to rob yourself of that experience? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> A novice beekeeper (which is the only kind I'd see wanting this product) should want to cut that wax .. or crush and strain that comb. It's your big payout and prize for raising healthy bees and having a good year. A big beekeeper would never use this ... they have methods to cut and spin combs by the hundreds. It's barbaric the way the big guys do it .. but they do it fast and cheap, and I just don't see them sitting there watching a trickle run out .. </span><br />

<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/Dl3nnPskrRo/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Dl3nnPskrRo?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I had to laugh a little when they started talking about all the "back breaking" labor involved in honey processing. It's the same way that all those infomercials start, "Are you tired of breaking your back to open that jelly jar???" ... insert the house wife, all red and perspired and hair frazzled like she's been mauled by a bear, and she's nodding her head to this disembodied voice, "Er Herrr !!" </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> But real beekeepers know better. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The media men always invent a problem and then claim to fix it. Going into the hive is not a problem, it's the solution to problems. And now that you know you have to go in anyway, pulling a couple frames of honey is not a big deal .. and it's exciting : ) But if you do what this product suggests, your bees will most likely be battling something inside the hive while you're out there drizzling their hard earned honey on your pancakes. You need to go into the hive for many reasons, and a big one it to make sure that there's enough food before you start collecting rent.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Anyone who's ever had honey out around beehives ... or even left a can of pop out at the end of the season when the bees need food, will know that bees will team on that sweetness. I'm at a loss to know how you could have thirty thousand bees in the hive and have a jar of honey trickling out back, and they don't seem to notice. Honey harvesting should always be done off-site. It's our shared don't-ask-don't-tell with the bees. We sneak the honey away and process it back home, but the bees don't want to see it going on right there under their sweet little feelers. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Another issue I see with this design is that it lacks ventilation .. these flow frames extend all the way out to the clear plastic sidewalls (your little TV screen inspection station) .. and in any other hive, there would be open space on both ends of the frames. Bees walk around that space, and air can flow to cure honey and help reduce the occurrence of mold. This thing is glued tight to both ends with no breathing room. I've never seen bees build themselves in like this in the wild, or in a standard hive. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> A couple side notes that will probably seem finicky to people who don't keep bees - bees don't like plastic. If you give them empty frames where they can build their own comb and also frames with plastic foundation, they'll always leave the plastic for absolute last. They'll build everywhere else before they touch that plastic. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We let our bees build their comb how they'd like, and some bees will build smaller comb (depending on their breed) and some will build larger .. or mix it up in a way that we can't pretend to understand. Plastic doesn't give them this choice. We bought a hive from a swam guy down south, and he had a sheet of plastic foundation starter in there, and the bees actually hung a new sheet of 100% wax comb out in front of the plastic so they didn't have to touch it. They know what they like, and they don't like plastic ... if you give them no other choice, they'll build off it, but they might also be making plans to move out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Bees are very smart ... they talk through pheromones, communicate through dance (in the dark), and they will notice that something is wrong with this strange comb ... that the honey is slowly disappearing from within. This is going to stress the bees for a longer period of time rather than if you just snuck the frames away and replaced them with empties. I'm thinking they'll figure out that something is wrong with this comb and stop using it. The product only works if and when the bees go in and seal up the slots in the plastic comb where they're broken during harvest, and I just don't see them doing that over and over. Einstein's definition of stupidity is .. doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Bees will only put honey in those magic combs so many times, only to find them broken and empty and in need of repair, before they say F this man .. Bees are not dumb. And this is a lot of work/ stress for the bees to do over and over. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Another note on plastic. The bees keep the hive at around 95 degrees, even in the winter, and with those observation windows it's going to get even hotter in there ... do you really want your honey cooking in that hot plastic? Even if the jokers at the FDA declares some type of plastic food grade, it's still made from petroleum which is toxic. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I don't know if the guys mention this, but the only way to make sure that those fancy frames have only honey and no bee larva inside, is to segregate the box with a queen excluder so the queen can't get up there and lay (a </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">queen excluder </span>is a sheet of metal grating that's too small for the larger queen to fit through.) This upsets her because she feels like she can't move around her own hive and lay where she wants .... (we give our queens free reign of the whole hive, and she lays upstairs, too.) And one of the main reasons for bees to swarm away (which is a thing that the queen suggests to the colony) is when she feels like she's running out of room to lay. So this product, and the segregation that is needed for its function, will up the chances that your bees will move out on you ... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span id="bc_0_22b+seedydBhD" kind="d">If you don't use an excluder, you'd have no idea if there's be larva in the
frames before you crank that metal mechanism and spill all the honey (and the bug
juice) down onto your pancakes .. yum : ) <br /><br /> Have you ever seen
bee larva? They're basically little white maggots full of puss like
goop. (some people eat them as super food .. ewwww) I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want that white mess crushed and
running blindly down into my honey .. not to mention that it could cause
mold : (</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Sorry to rain on anybody's parade .. I love innovation, but this product feels a lot like telling people they can keep chickens locked down in their kitchen cabinets to enjoy Fresh Eggs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> People need to be informed and loving if they're going to raise any kind of creature, esspecially when You're sharing Their food source .. and the marketing here talks nothing about being a good beekeeper and everything about take-take-taking away. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> In the beginning of the season </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">last year we only took a small sampling of honey from our biggest hive</span>, but we had a happy time caring for them and learning more about these fascinating creatures. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We won't be using the Drain Hive in our apiaries ...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I had an interesting dream last night, lucid. I know a lot of you know
about lucid dreaming, but it's where you look around while you're dreaming and
realize that you're dreaming. This shouldn't be very hard to do because things
rarely make sense in your dream, hence the retelling of dreams which normally goes,
"I was at my house, but it wasn't my house because this place was three
stories tall and the walls were purple" .. that's what they call a
"dream sign" .. the added two stories and purple walls, nonsense, but
your brain actually shuts down the logic center when you're dreaming. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It's a complicated thing when you realize that you're dreaming in the
dream. For me, it normally happens in a stressful dream, like last night,
because you're really trying to figure things out, find a solution, and with
that tiny bit of stress induced logic, sometimes you'll look around and say,
"This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful life. This is a
dream." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But like I said, to awaken is complicated. For one, most times you can't
stay asleep once you realize that you're asleep. It's a bit of a shocker, and
it will normally pull you out of your dreams. This is unfortunate, because once
you find out that you're dreaming, you can do anything ... or many things.
Flying is one of my favorites. And if it was a stressful dream, you're
instantly liberated from that situation, knowing it's not real. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Staying asleep it tricky, especially if you take a moment to think that
your body is lying someplace, paralyzed below the sheets, while you run wild in
the dream world. Many artists and inventors find their works in dreams. The murder mystery <a href="http://thelittlewhitetrip.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">novel</span></a> I wrote came directly from a dream, and I'm constantly waking up with new ideas and realizations to write down. What a strange thing that we take for granted, that DMT trip that all must take every night - cats, dogs, priests, and school teachers, there's no opting out on these out of body travels and hallucinations. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> A</span>nother interesting thing to consider: Once you know you're dreaming, you'll
also have to accept the fact that nothing you're seeing around you exists, not
the trees or the sky or the people around you. The physical surroundings won't
pose much of a problem - once you become a dream artist (which I am not) you
can change the sky, make it stormy, sunny, add a rainbow, but the people can be
difficult. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Example - the first lucid dream I ever had took place in the Winnie back
when we were living on the city streets in Venice, and Juwels was there with
me. She's in most of my dreams. Anyway, in the dream, I was getting into it
with some homeless guy who was outside the Winnie's window making a ruckus. I
told him to go get drunk and crazy someplace else, not wanting the cops or the neighbors
to roll by and see him there outside our rig and think that we were together. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
guy finally walked away with his cart, and when I popped my head back into the
Winnie, I was annoyed that he even knew which motorhome was ours, thinking he
might be nagry with me and vandalize it later when we were away. But then I
looked down at my feet and saw that there was carpet. "Oh," I said in
relief, "but this isn't our Winnie, we have bamboo floors." But when
I turned back around to look at the front cab, it looked just like ours. I must
have been having a strong night of awareness, because I burst out with,
"This doesn't make sense. This is a dream! I'm dreaming !!" </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was so excited that I ran over to juwels, who was sitting in a rolling
computer chair (which was another thing that we don't have in the real Winnie)
and I spun her chair around and yelled, "Babe, I'm dreaming! I'm
dreaming!!" </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
didn't take a moment to consider that if I was dreaming and nothing was real,
that would mean that juwels wasn't real either. But when I swiveled her chair
around, still hollering about how I'd figured out that I was in a dream, I was
a shocked to find that she had turned into a mannequin. I turned away from the
thing to see that my other friend who was there was also sitting lifeless as a
mannequin, and there was a baby mannequin lying on the floor. The bum, the
carpet, the Winnie and everyone else, except for me, where not real, and I
became panicked, saying, "I'm all alone, I'm All Alone!!" </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And then I woke up. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Anyway, one of the spookiest things about the lucid dreaming deal is the
"dream people" because although you create them, they aren't exactly
robots to be controlled, they have their own agenda, and if you tell them that
you think you're dreaming, they'll almost always tell you that you're not. In
fact, they can get angry about it if you push the topic. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
was sitting in a kitchen once with a few guys when I realize that I was
dreaming, and I told them I was dreaming. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>"No you're not," they said. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>"Yes, I am. I can tell." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
went back and forth, until one finally said, "So what if you are ?!!?"
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>"So then none of this is real, and I can do anything I want,"
I said, picking up a stack of plates and dropping them on the ground. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>"What are you doing???" he yelled as they shattered. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>"It's not real," I said, "And you're not real either. I
made you up." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And then I woke up. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So the key is to stay asleep, and awake in the dream, and stay cool
about it. Nobody likes to be told that they don't exist, not even dream people. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> I've had dreams were I've told juwels that it was all a dream, and rather than
turning into a mannequin, she would just look up at me with her big brown eyes,
so sad, and that would rip me from the dream. I've approached her before in the
dream telling her that she could stay, and that I would play along with it, and
that kind of worked. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> But last night when I realized I was dreaming, in the
middle of a beekeeping dream, I didn't tell her or anyone else that I knew I
was dreaming, I just looked at the hives, all single stack hives (and we only
have doubles, triples and quadruples) and I thought, these aren't my hives, I
must be dreaming. It was a stressful dream with a fire and the fire truck and groups
of men and all of our hives swarming away, and when I realized that it was all
made up, I had the urge to spin around and yell, "This is all a dream
!!" but thought better of it. Juwels was there, and there were all the men
in uniform, working, and they wouldn't be too happy with me if I yanked the
curtain down. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
I turned back into the field, and saw Juwels standing there looking worried
about the hives and the bees, and I thought that I'd give her a big hug,
showing her I wanted her there and cared for her even in this made up reality,
and then I was going to whisper in her ear that it was all just a dream and
that we should go away from the drama and go have fun. But when I hugged her,
she wouldn't hug me back. It was the strangest thing, like she knew that I
knew. I asked her why she wouldn't hug me back, but she was barely animated. I
tried it again later, and the same thing happened. I was happy that I'd awoken
in the dream, and that I could stop worrying about the bees, but then I fell
back into the dream and laid in the grass and just watched everybody hurrying
around in their roles. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We sleep 1/3 of our lives. That means that I've been asleep in this dream
world for over 11 years. And the subconscious plays tricks on us in this other
consciousness, not always fun. I'm fascinated with these years we spend
paralyzed in bed with our logic sensors turned off, and little by little, I've
been trying to wake up to these scenes and fly around the room or bring back
the dead. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
are some really interesting <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_LaBerge" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Stanford studies</span></a> on lucid dreaming, one of which
where they play back a recording to the test subject (in their own voice) which
says, "Hey - Brian, you're dreaming. Look around. This is all just a
dream." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe
I'll try that : ? </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>That's all for dreaming for now, loVe, </span></div>

</span>Juwels is taking a nap. She’s been<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>taking one almost every day these past couple of weeks. She’s deep
charging before the holiday rush. I told her to figure out which muscles in her
shoulder normally seize up on her every holiday, and work them, stretch them, strengthen<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>them. Get acupuncture –before- you're
hurt. I can’t have her talking about her “dead arm” again this season. It’s too
painful, for me, gritting my teeth and helpless to help. </span></div>

</span>But we could find uses for the money, and we both know this, so she
declines, not wanting to stop in the first place, but just mentioning that her
arm has no felling, and that she’s looking down on it and not knowing who’s arm
it is, but I’m a fixer, and wish I had some <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/414120128206519175/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Caractacus Potts</span></a> skills to
help swipe those candles, and fry those eggs and wash those dishes, but I
don’t, so I just pre-trim her wicks and "fire" her from time to time. This
happened last year, and I did her job and mine, and banished her to bed with a hot
water bottle. Oh, the holiday’s are fun. That feast of feasts where no other
animal could ever catch so many fish in such a time, and even if they could, how could they eat them ? Unnatural, this holiday harvest, but I didn’t make the
rules to the game, and we just brace ourselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And to top it all off, we’d just
invested most of our etsy interview money in a booth at the California Gift Show (this
was before we knew about Anthropologie) but we went to the show anyway, no
refunds, and we booked a ton of indie stores. And all this before we’d really
done the math to see if it made sense to do wholesale at all, where we'd be selling
everything 50% off… Shut up and GO! Ha Ha Ha. . The American Dream, but forget
about sleep.) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That order alone could be a chapter or three. The shop heater was out, and
the studio mates who worked below us could be cold and strange and inconsiderate. The roof leaked, but that didn’t matter because
it was so cold inside that the puddles froze. We were on the backside
of the building, in a shadow, with ice slicks, and game-show-style pallet stacks on hour 28 of the shift. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> And Juwels broke her
pinky as we frantically yanked pallet straps, and one snapped back on her. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She cried, more from exhaustion than pain, but I'm sure it hurt. And the truck driver just
stood there with a stupid look on his face, waiting beside us with his floor
dolly and idling truck in the snow, and I wanted to scream at him to go away
and stop staring at us. And I wished he’d just told us that he was in no big
hurry when we’d talked about our crazy last shift before the shipping deadline. Maybe we wouldn’t
have snapped that strap? Maybe it was just a warning of something bigger? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And this was just the internet segment of their order, less than half, and
on we worked, eating cereal and fried eggs at four in the morning, and choking down
green powdered super foods in place of salads. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
didn’t want the money anymore. I just wanted the job to be done and over, and to
have the two of us set free from this crazy contract. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Since we had little money in our startup, there was an investor
involved in dealing with the realities of producing this order. She was a woman from a 1950's
novel, a small but very wise and powerful woman from the Hollywood hills. We
used to watch her cats and plants and swim naked in her pool while she was off in
Paris for fashion week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Those were good little getaways. </span>The Winnie
would have a break from the streets and the nasty notes and tickets left below
her wiper back in Venice and sit empty and at a severe angle in Barbara's magnolia
shaded driveway. </span></div>

the product, but we tightened our belts and got it done in a blur of beeswax and red sleepless eyes. We sent that
spooky amount of money back to Hollywood with a thank you card and a gift
certificate for a float in a local deprivation chamber. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> Done? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> No. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> Then we got to work on the pre-booked store orders and tag teamed etsy
sales. That was our first holiday, happening at the end of a <a href="http://thewinnebagodiaries.blogspot.com/2011/11/crossing-mojave-by-night-part-book-one.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b45f06;">nightmare</span></a> move, but at the beginning of
a movement. Last holiday wasn’t as bad. Chia did break her leg in the middle of the madness and had to live in the house (under the table) and be carried out every two hours through the night to "go potty" .. but she's potty trained now, both of them are since ezzie had to move in and go out nightly, too. She doesn't like being alone ... But we had a helper, two helpers, and
this year, we’re doing it mostly alone, intentionally, and we’ll be cutting back on
wholesale and cutting it all off a tad early if need bee. We’re not looking for Everest : ) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aaaaanyway ... more true stories to come. And !! To all our friends who think they’ll bee getting pollen
arts goodies for friends and family this holiday, feel free to send your orders
in advance. We'd loVe to get some of it going now !! And you can even pay later
if you’d like : ) We trust our friends !! We're just looking to dig some irrigation channels to future fields
and be as sustainable as possible : ) </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> We got a call the other day while we were off walking in the woods with the goats (and Maya the chicken - Juwels insisted) and we found out that there was a late swarm stranded on the other end of town. (It's fun never knowing when you're going to get one of these calls. In the morning, you've got one plan and in the evening, you're up in somebody's apple tree with a crowd gathering on the sidewalk.) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> When bees swarm at this time of year, it's pretty much a suicide mission. The flowers have all froze, so they can't make honey or wax, and they'd basically just die in a tree : ( So were were very happy to come to the rescue !! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> We were just talking to a beekeeper friend of ours up here in Flag, and when he mentioned that he doesn't waste his time trying to catch swarms anymore, we told him that he should refer any calls to us. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> He's been the bee guy up here for over 30 years, and everybody knows him, and this suggestion turned out to be a good move because just 3 days later, he had a lead for us : ) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Hey said the bees were on the ground (not such a good sign as they should be hanging in a tree) but we suited up and head out to see what was going on and if we could save them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The cluster was tiny, and I poked around with a finger to see if the queen was in there, but we decided that we better just get them into the box and not scare them into the air. if they didn't have a queen, they wouldn't be a functional colony, but we can always combine them with one of our other small hives : ) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirrdlWCjp0y9gUG5mWVB4rPiBqGdYJ-FJdmaM5PXYZpCaLkDqa_TyNty1-3A9JTtS9dluqSQZwCWeY0NoaFvUNwj-vlk0juDqNwwv_kYv-CNe6OYGLk_Jcuz3yTQNDLiP1NuYvBWt8d3o/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirrdlWCjp0y9gUG5mWVB4rPiBqGdYJ-FJdmaM5PXYZpCaLkDqa_TyNty1-3A9JTtS9dluqSQZwCWeY0NoaFvUNwj-vlk0juDqNwwv_kYv-CNe6OYGLk_Jcuz3yTQNDLiP1NuYvBWt8d3o/s1600/4.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We had a whole box of fresh honeycomb from one of the hives we recently lost, so these bees would have a place to live and lay right off the bat and not have to build comb from scratch. A lot of the time when people try and catch a swarm, the bees just leave again, so having extra motivation for them to stay really helps. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Most times, swarms are starving when you get to them, so we brought along a cocktail of spring water and organic evaporated cane juice as food, and I had the idea to sprinkle it into the empty comb before placing it over the bees. This tempted them up from the grass and into the box, and they ate with glee : ) </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> As I was sitting there waiting for the bees to climb aboard, a neighbor across the street came walking over and said, "You guys have bees over there, too?" </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I asked him if they had bees, and he pointed to a beautiful overturned octopus of an apple tree, and said, "Yeah, a bunch of them."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> He told us that an old fence had been taken down a few days ago, and that the bees had come from there. He also mentioned that he didn't know what to do with them, and he was worried about his kids, so he'd sprayed them the other night with long distance wasp spray : ( </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Next season, we're going to start advertising like crazy, so everyone will know who to call when they see a swarm : ) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Luckily he didn't kill them ... probably just shot into the tree and ran like hell, and we were able to inadvertently find out about them through his neighbor's call. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> We checked out the cluster. It was much bigger than the one on the lawn, and we figured they must have been from the same swarm. A few minutes later, I saw another clump lower in the tree, so we got ready to catch them, too, and reunite the family : ) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is the smaller clump - not sure why they split off. Maybe they were getting too hot together ? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Luckily, we'd brought along the bee vac. We plugged it in at the second house and got to work ! </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I got a big bunch of them, and then emptied the chamber into the hive, and we wondered if we'd gotten the queen in that batch. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Normally, if you get the queen in the box, you'll see bees standing on the edge of the box and "fanning" ... this is when they stick their butts in the air, and fan the pheromone to the others in the tree, saying, "Come on down here .. the queen has moved !!" </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And we were happy to see a bunch of striped bee butts in the air after the first round : ) While I was back up in the tree, Juwels flipped through the frames and somehow found the queen !! She was a tiny queen, a sweet little pixie : ) </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I did two more passes with the bee vac (this is rigged up to have very low power, just enough to move them down into the vented chamber) and every time I'd empty the load, less and less bees would go back up into the tree (the queen leaves some kind of scent on the spot in the tree, and it takes the bees a little while to figure out that she's in the box and not in the tree anymore.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The lady of the house loaned us some perfume, and after I'd removed all the bees from the spot for the last time, I sprayed the area with the perfume - strong stuff - and that threw the others off the scent, and they just kind of hovered around. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We asked if we could leave the box under the tree until after dark, when it got cold, and she was happy to help in anyway, and when we came back at around 8pm, there wasn't a single bee in the tree, and everybody had moved in : ) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We covered up the entrance, strapped everything down, and let the little girls ride in the truck with us.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The catch was a success, and they're now happily part of the Fair Share Honey crew !!</span><br />
