2018 Week 32 Rainbows, Mud, and Clocks

Despite near blizzard conditions last weekend, we managed to get north and west of Stillwater, Wisconsin to pick up this year's honeybees. They are living temporarily in our shop awaiting warmer weather. That's the queen in the little cage. You can read my Instagram account if you'd like more interesting bee facts. I love raising honeybees!
