Catching up #1

James had a vocabulary parade in class and had to dress up like a vocabulary word. He chose "reflection" and his costume turned out so cute! (And easy!)

The eggs in the class incubator hatched, so I brought in a broody hen to adopt them for the few days they were staying in the classroom.

A friend at church organized a girl's trip to the temple. My mom happened to be in town for my birthday so it was nice to go with her too.

We went out to lunch after going to the temple and the waiter brought me a birthday treat!

Later that afternoon someone posted on facebook that they had a wild beehive taking up residence in their backyard and could someone come and move them. So we packed up the truck and went to go get them. It was amazing! They had created an entire hive, complete with honeycomb rows, inside a decorative rhino head.

James came along to help.

You could see the bees inside through the rhino's eyes. It was crazy!

Once we turned the rhino on its side we could see all the bees and the honeycomb. It was so cool to see!

The inside of the rhino head after Anthony cut out all the comb and put it into a bee box.

The bees were so confused, a lot of them went to the outside of the rhino head.

We got home with the bees late at night, so Anthony parked the truck under a tree away from the house so that we wouldn't get swarmed getting out of the truck.

The next day Anthony rubberbanded the honeycomb onto beehive frames.

Videos from both days:
