Well, the bees are in their winter cluster and have been for about a month and a half. However, yesterday was a warm day and I decided to reset the hive so that they’d have some ventillation. Of course, I thought since they were inside and clustered up that I wouldn’t have to worry about them getting annoyed. Boy was I wrong — a whole army of little ladies came out and stung me four times! Yeeouch! Oh well…you live and learn. At least I didn’t have major reaction…just some nice itchy baseball-sized welts in some very inconvenient spots. So for now it’s leave-the-ladies-alone time.
Two of the students who were working with me on the bee research have been voted on to the next level of Science Fair! Brittney and Sam will be going on to compete at the city level. Yay girls!
