The Bees have arrived!!

We picked up the bees an April 29th.  Before picking them up there was work to do.  Tim read the book "Beekeeping for Dummies", attended a day long seminar, and talked to many people.  We ordered a start up kit of hives and some equipment and bees.  We picked up the hives on Conference weekend.  Tim wanted Deep Hives and we thought that was what we were getting.  We got Medium Hives instead.  This has been a concern for us.  Tim has talked to several different people and most everybody thought we should go with the deep hives.  We finally talked to the people we bought everything from and they said they were switching to the medium hives for their business and to try them.  So we are.  They were painted white and ready to go when we picked up the bees.  On the day of pickup, we picked up the Rhino from the Springville Museum, Crista and then Bees.  Crista and I enjoyed watching the people come out of the warehouse carrying their bees. Some were little kids and not afraid.  We saw two grown men dancing and slapping around.  Some put the bees in trucks in the bed, and others in the van with all their kids.  Ours went in the back of the Cruiser with the Rhino and Crista.
