bee boxes


The Mason bees are hatching left and right from the boxes next to my window. Spring is finally here (I think)!

The boys and I have been getting the bee hive ready for the arrival of about 5,000 new members of the Schwartz family (lots of girls). Drew is helping (above) paint the beeboxes.

We're going with an unconventional dark-green to help it blend in with the landscape and not raise any eyebrows with the neighbors. Of course, if they swarm in June or July, well... they'll know we have bees then I guess. :)
