Honey, Honeycomb, and Dead Bees

Post image for Honey, Honeycomb, and Dead Bees

Last week, I was quite surprised over the number of bees in our apartment. We’ve had wasps before, but never bees. It got me curious as to where they were coming from.

The mystery was solved a couple of days later, when one of the apartment complex watchmen came knocking on our door to advise us to close all our windows. Apparently, swarms of bees had established two huge hives on the apartment building and they were about to be removed.

We didn’t think much more about it until a couple of hours later, when there was another knock at the door. This time it was the beekeepers, who’d come to sell us fresh honey from the hives. They were carrying it in a huge silver container, which was also full of honeycomb… and dead bees! (The honey was tasty though).

Honey, honeycomb, and dead bees. Thankfully, it's not our sieve!
