Close up with the granddaughters before the bees arrive...

The girls were back today so could have a close up look at the finished hive before the bees arrived. The mostly paid attention but it was very windy and wild

Orla learning about the entrance to the hive

Won't be able to do this once the bees are in residence so it was a nice opportunity

A shallow super frame Orla....

Grandpa explaining about parasites

Big sisters back from school having a look

Maggie spots the fluffy bee!

We think they are interested although it was a very windy afternoon and small children do seem to go quite mad in that sort of weather!!!

Maggie notices that this frame is bigger than the other one....
