There are at least three separate swarms in our neighborhood today. This particular hive, on their way to a new home, decided to  swarm on one of our crabapple trees today. That would be the crabapple tree that is 10 feet away from our playground, conveniently. At least they decided to do this during school hours.

 

 

 

The local beekeeper came out and managed to brush many of the bees (including the queen, apparently) into a box, and the rest followed.

Box-o-bees. Would also make a lovely Christmas present.

Ian fell asleep reading a book about space, turned to a page about the sun, using the book to shade his eyes from said sun. I think there must be some irony in that.

We held it at a local gymnastics gym where the boys were able to jump, run around and go crazy like any angry bird.

Ian: Careful, Daddy, don’t hit the tubes!
Me: What tubes?
Ian: The tubes inside the wall!

He may not know what they’re called, but I’m pretty sure he’s the only 4 year old in the world who not only knows about conduit and plumbing, but knows hitting it with a drill would be a bad idea. He may also be the only 4 year old who loves watching HGTV, and I’m pretty sure the two are related.
