So I got back on the horse and ordered more bees.  I ordered a nucleus or "nuc" for short.  This is an established colony of bees with a queen that is already laying eggs.  It's more expensive, $130-150 presently, but a little less work when it comes to establishing a hive, at least for the hobby bee keeper.  I picked them up early in the morning and brought them home.  I placed them on top of the hive body I planned to use and let them out for a while to get used to their surroundings.  Later in the day I actually placed them in the hive.  Enjoy the video!

One of the neatest things to see is when pigs really get their snouts down deep into the dirt and root around for food.  They're looking for roots, grubs, bugs, anything they can find.  They really are like little plows!  In fact people have known for a long time that the best way to prepare land for a garden is to let pigs trample around in it first!
