The first one was with Jamie Buffington. She has three beehives in her backyard. We observed the bees with a magnifying glass and she explained me about her bees behaviour. At the end we have tasted fresh honey. Delicious!
The second opportunity was with Ann Evans. She also has three beehives.
We opened one of them because it was less active and Ann saw ants at the bottom. We were surprised to discover an empty beehive! The queen and the rest of the bees were gone, probably because of an attack.
The other beehives were okay.
It was the first time I wore bees protections.
Very interesting!
