Marc starts a second hive

This morning Maurice rescued a swarm and delivered them to my office in Santa Monica, in the afternoon i drove them to their new home in our Mt. Washington yard - so assuming all works out and they like it here, we now have our second hive...and i took us off the "need bees" database on our Yahoo group.

I was solo doing it all (with some great guidance from Maurice) but managed to take a few photos in the process i put them up on my Flickr page.

Everything was awesome, but i did learn that no matter how careful you are (socks tucked into pants, etc), a bee can still manage to get into your pants! Ouch!!
