It has been about 6 weeks since we last inspected the hives, so Saturday morning we opened them up. They are all doing great. I was brave and got the closest I have ever been and was able to get some pretty good pictures and a couple videos.

| Look at all the glistening honey they are making us! |
 |
| My first time with the bee hat.. haha I look so funny! Let me tell you I was so hot while we were doing this. |
 |
| Sean getting geared up. He forgot to put rubber bands around his pant legs and got stung on his calf. I would have quit, then and there if that would have been me:) |
 |
| All of our hives our looking healthy this year. |
 |
| Here you can actually see a small pollen ball.

 |
| If you look closely at the next few pictures you can see some bee's being born, you can see their little heads popping out. |
I realize this is kind of blurry, the sun was shining so bright I couldn't really tell if I was even in the right spot. But if you look to the bottom you can see a bee being born. I will try and do better at my video taking in the future.
If you want a giggle listen to this video till the end, I kinda lost my 'cool'. One lone bee decided to chase me as soon as I took my hood off. But I escaped without a sting:)

This is very cool! Thank you for sharing it with us! xo
