I may have forgotten to mention in the posts that Harry is now a beekeeper. He took a course last January and started the process of building his hive. He got his bees in May and began his official hobby of beekeeping. Some time in late June or July the bees swarmed. He worried at first but was assured from the supplier of his bees that this was a good thing. He collected the bees that had nested on the ground near his old hive and put them into a box for safe keeping, then ordered another hive that came in a couple days and managed to get them into the hive. He now has 2 active hives. No honey for us this year - the bees need all they produce to get them through this first winter. Perhaps next year!
Here are recent photos of Harry with his colonies. He's helping get them ready for winter.

Fun pictures! Anna occasionally asks when we can go back to Uncle Harry's and Aunt Linda's house. You're house just has so many interesting things for kiddies...including bees. :-)
Yummy! I'm sure all will be well.
