Exploration Day

Yesterday was the first day for the bees at the new location. It was cloudy and sprinkling, but there were a lot of scouts out and about. At first they would just come out slowly and then do a spiral up into the air to above the tree line and take off to where ever they were going. But by afternoon they were all over the place. I was hoping none of the neighbors noticed the increase in curious bee activity and such a cool day. They should be spreading out more soon and then it won't be a big deal at all. Bloo did like watching them from my office window, which is right above them. They would fly up and land on the sill and do whatever and Bloo would just stare at them. I told him that I didn't think that he would enjoy eating one.

We also made it over to the State Fair. I think Susan is planning on entering one of her knitted items next year - I hope so. I spoke with one of the Wake County Beekeepers members and found that there was still an open slot at our exhibit on Tuesday night, so I'll be working that.
