The Beekeeper

We had the opportunity to see Jennifer (also known as Jenn) and Ryan for a couple of days on our way back from KC. It was great to see them and as usual there was something interesting going on - we had our first chance to see their (mostly Ryan's) beekeeping activity.

One of the days we were there he was weed-whacking near where his two hives are located and apparently this caused one of the hives to swarm - he discovered most of them on the branch of a tree nearby. They eventually returned to the hive, but when Ryan checked the hives it was obvious that the little guys had been very busy so there was a rush to add another level to both hives.
