Today our much anticipated little helpers arrived with Orlando, our lovely beekeeper. After a long and bumpy ride across town, which made them go very quiet as Orlando told me, the bees finally arrived at their new location next to the Campus Farm.
A few impressions from "Greeting the Bees"
 |
| We are initially getting 2 hives, with room to keep up to 6 |
 |
| Orlando is bravely taking off the tape to "Release the Beests", as he said |
 |
| And here they are, the first bees dare to emerge from their hive |
 |
| ...ready to have a look around, exploring their new location (all still a bit confused as it seems...) |
 |
| Aren't they fascinating? |
Now let them settle in for their first night on campus (always exciting), ready to have an exploration flight in the morning (over to our lovely broad beans, nasturtiums and courgettes, please) and hopefully we'll get some delicious honey, too. And looking forward to get to know them better!
