Busy as Bees

Ever noticed the fence at the end of the garden?
 Ever wondered what is behind it?
 Some friends are hard at work.
Yep, honey bees are helping to pollinate our veggies.   Their entrance is at the bottom of the box and the honey is at the very top.  There are over 30,000 honeybees at work in that box.
One of the most frequently asked questions regarding the hive is, "Who gets the honey?"  The beekeeper, whose name is Jon.  He was at the garden on Saturday.  Unfortunately I wasn't there when he came by (or I would have taken pictures.)  My husband and son said he gave a bit of demonstration and they were overflowing with information at dinner that night.

The next time you're at our garden, sneak back there and take a peek for yourself.
