This picture has the queen bee in it. She is the bigger bee than the rest. When moving a hive it is better to find the queen so it was exciting to actually find her. Also he said the queen bee was young so that is good.
This is new honey comb that they recently made.
Here is just some of the honey comb that was taken out. He said that in a normal colony that it is I think he said 6,000 or more I am not sure. But a lot. So we are glad that we called him.
Here are some of the bees checking out the new home.
The peanut looking thing on the side is a queen cell and there was another one on it. So that was neat to see.
Jason is holding older honey comb.
This is Leif pulling out the first bit of honey comb. So it was an interesting experiance to watch them dig out and see all the bees. Jason and I both got to taste fresh honey. It was really good. So ends the adventure of the bees in the back yard. The ones that are left should go away in a week or so. We just hope that the bees stay at their new home. Because bees can travel 4 miles and it wasn't quite that. But I don't think they will come back. The End.

That's quite the exciting story. Did you guys try any of the honeycomb? There's a company here that rents beehives to people so they have pollinators in their garden. I hope to do that someday when we don't have any little ones around.
We did get to try some of the honey
