Day One - Bees in the Mail

Carin suggested that I blog this endeavor, and I felt like that was a good idea.  

In my head, I've composed a range of entries about the beehive already, addressing why I decided to do this, what the past six months was like, what needs to happen next....  Once the bees get installed into the hive, they musn't be disturbed for a week.  Plenty of time for this beekeeper to blog, I suppose.  ("It's like nature vs. machine...")

There are many photos of the whole hiving process on flickr.

And here is a video of what I arrived home to.  Bees in the mail!
