Our local public radio station, WABE 90.1 FM, sent reporter, Michelle Wirth, over to my house to interview me and to look at and listen to my backyard hives. She spent a good part of last Thursday afternoon over with my hives and me.
As the day went on, she got more and more comfortable with my bees. In the end, I had to bake cookies for our MEETUP meeting that night and left her with the bees to tape sounds of the hive. She had gotten so comfortable with them that, wearing a jacket and veil, she was right up beside the hive surrounded by thousands of foragers coming home!
Here's the link to the radio show and about ten photos that her photographer took while they were here.
Hello Linda!
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I just started keeping bees and boy are we exciting! I've been thinking about bees and even dreaming about bees, it's getting pretty insane. I found your blog and I've been loving reading all the old posts and it's great to see that even someone that's been a beekeeper for so many years still learns new things about these great little guys. Almost all of my googling leads me to one of your old blog posts and you're always so great about answering everyones questions! I'm sure I'll have questions soon, but I'm off to check on my bees!
