Jim went and picked up the bees from someone in Holland and then I met him so we could take the bees out to his parents where he's keeping them. It was worth getting up early in the morning for!
I've learned alot about honeybee's and they are very peaceful to watch! I brought along his digital camera and was snapping away!
Here they are waiting to be taken out of the van:

It was really cool to see. I got buzzed a few times but it was more curiosity I think like who is this? Does she have pollen? Nope, she doesn't lets move on.
No one got stung either, honeybees are very docile unless something gets them riled up but they are no where near the agression level of yellow jackets!
