Yes, we have a winner of the "Guess How Many Bees" contest. Well, actually we'll call it two winners. The estimated number of bees in a three pound box of bees is....anywhere from 10,000 to 13,000. So, we'll call both Terri's guess of 9,850 and Janelle's guess of 14,444 both correct....or at least in the ballpark! According to the "rules" (?!!!) of the contest, they will both receive a pint of honey!
BTW - bees are doing great....staying busy and sucking down that sugar water until they get their hive established. Another first occurred today....I (yes, the very same) "fed" the bees. Not a hard chore, since it consisted of replacing their nearly empty sugar water jar with another....not to mention, they weren't up and about that early on this chilly morning. Hey, can I help it if I decide to start with the easy stuff?!!
