The strongest beehive Joe has had a swarm of bees leave a few weeks ago. (When there get to be too many and they start feeling crowded, a group will decide to leave). It grieved him so much that he wasn't able to capture them. But this time when a swarm left, he discovered their plan to run away and intervened. To convince them to stay, he sprayed them with sugar water and set a hive right beside them with a big "Welcome Home" sign by the entrance. Surely that's enough to convince them that they are wanted & loved, and they will decide to make Shangri La their home!
The first person to guess the correct number of bees in this swarm wins a free pint of honey ;-)
Jack is very disappointed he isn't in any of these pictures "helping" Pa!
