The Bees Are Here!

•  April 21 finally arrived. I went to Worcester Honey Farms in Montgomery County to pick up two packages. It's just off route 73 near the Peter Wentz Farmstead. More than 100 packages were being picked up.
• These are various shots of the property, mostly of Jim Bobb (yes, his real name, but Bobb is his surname) demonstrating how to install a package.
• This is where I got my package last year.  
• There are a lot of beehives on the property.
• The bees, including the queens, are from Georgia. Jim Bobb picked them up on Thursday. Apparently, he helps making the packages. They had so many bees that the packages have more bees than usual - they were dumping them just to keep the hives from swarming.
• Most of the customers are in their first or second year of beekeeping.
• The demo was mostly familiar info and dealt more with Langstroth hives, so I didn't get much out of it, except that Jim kept pointing out problems that could occur that I didn't know about.
• Helene was there picking up her first package.
