Bees are amazing, we have just 3 hives, but it is amazing to be around them and just observe. Every moove they do is with purpose. This year the kids were amazed to see how one bee fell in the honey, we took her out and immedietly 4-5 bees came to clean their sis from the honey. Since then they always save bees when they see them in the honey or in the water.
Lovely post, the net seems to work great.
Oh yay for your beehives! It is wonderful for the children. They learn a love and appreciation of the little bees as well as the process of pollination and honey.
