in Me and the bees!
This morning we got up really early so we could move some of our bees to their new forever home! We shut their doors last night and we dragged them up the hill on a sled and then loaded them onto the trailer.
We got them on board then whizzed down the road, some of the ‘late home bees” clung to the boxes all the way! We unloaded them and I put sticks in front so they would notice things had changed and re-orientate to their new place, then I opened the hives!
All aboard!

Eeeek! Our fireplace has arrived! Well arrived in Auckland. Mum ordered it months ago, it came all the way from Turkey! She saw an add on some online thing and rand the guy up, his family owns a foundry in Turkey and he gets them shipped out and sells them in New Zealand. We liked this one because it has an oven too so we can cook in it and keep warm!
Today we hear from our friend who is picking it up, he has it on his truck and is taking it to his place till he can bring it up! We need to finish building the floor, varnish it AND build the hearth for it before it gets here!!!!
