Installing a package of bees

Here are some photos of our new additions to our household.  The fuzzy ones were taken by my son through a screen door.  There were just too many bees buzzing around for his comfort.  Enjoy!

The syrup can is really hard to get out.  I had to split the box to get it out.

Shaking the bees out of their box.

More shaking.  Bees all over.  Nerves of steel required for a newbee.

All done!

Bees fanning to gather the crowd.

 

More serious fanning going on here.
