We had out first sunny afternoon since we installed the bees. And just like we had been told, the bees were busy checking out their new digs. They were busy flying all around. They were taking care to clean the hive... all the dead bees that were on the outside of the entrance were flown away (where I don't know. But bees ar every clean and will dispose of the bodies far from the hive).
Here is a video so you can see what I'm talking about... pictures just don't show the excitement and energy. Also, you can see my dog Titus - she isn't scared of the bees at all yet. She got one stuck in her nose hair... we thought it stung her yesterday but she's back today checking out the new citizens of the property!
The chickens haven't even noticed the bees. I thought they would be interested in eating the dead bees, but maybe not.
