Aw, what sweet bees! The queen looks kinda creepy, I guess I've never actually seen one up close. But I've been considering bee keeping as a viable thing I'd like to try one day, it seems fun and fruitful! Thank you for sharing these cuties with us. :)

Vindaloo had a pretty burgandy tinge to her. I'll try to get a picture.

I think queens in general kind of look like carrots because of their broad tapered shape. I find myself looking at the frame of bees saying to myself "okay where's the carrot, wheeere's the carrot??" (:

[kandigurl]

Hee hee. :) I think the creepiness comes from recently dealing with a bad roach problem at our last apartments, and all the preggers roaches had these nasty big butt things, and it kind of reminds me of that, even though bees are waaaaaaaaaay more useful and adorable than roaches.

Yes roaches aren't fuzzy. Fuzziness is the sure sign of adorability .... except in mold.

That was beautiful to read. Thank you.

Thanks (:

I kind of feel like my ending could have been better though. Couldn't come up with a good way to wrap it up or bring it back to the start d:

This is pretty neat. How'd you get into beekeeping?

[emo_snal]

oh it started out as a hobby, and then when I was looking for a summer job back from university I saw a posting relating to working with bees, and from there I just sunk deeper and deeper into it ;)

I have always wanted to keep bees.
I have even gone as far as priceing equpment but have never had the funds.
Love the acounting.

[emo_snal]

Thanks! You should get into it. Getting started isn't terrrribly much.

Unfortunaly I do not own my home and while It can be done on a one hive basis in town with a good sized yard it can not be done when living with parents who have a very small yard or on a fixed budget of $700 a month.

Yay for Queen Vindaloo! I've been secretly hoping you'd post about her again :P

[emo_snal]

I was seriously waiting all week to see if she'd been accepted and was doing okay.
