Tyler Klaudt's Bee Hive Check




Tyler Klaudt's Bee Hive Check
We first checked the top section to see how the honey was doing. It was cool to feel the difference between a non filled with honey and honey filled section because it was like three times the weight. My particular group of four people did the hive that was on the left that had the Caucasian honeybees. These bees aren't as aggressive as the other Italian orange honey bees.

These are the two bee hives. The one on closest to us is the Italian orange honey bee's and the far one is the Caucasian Honey bee's.

In the second section we looked at how the bees were doing and wanted to see the building process of the wax. It was crazy to see the skills the bees have to make something that looks like you have to buy. In this section we are bale to see the drone bees that are bigger and have different wings then the rest and the queen bee. The worker bees are in the top section and the drones are just lazy and protect the hive.

This is the Queen Bee found in the middle section.
Over all this was a fun experience and the best part was getting to dress up in the costumes and how I got to smoke the bees to make them go away. Because they don't like the smoke they move away and it makes it easier for us to put the section in and out.

This is Ivanna surrounded by hundreds of flying bees.
This is a selfie of me being a thug cause if you don't take a selfie did it even really happen?

And that was my hive check experience. I didn't get stung and I'm less scared of bees now then I was so it was a double win.

Thanks for reading!
