The First Fruits of Our Garden and The Honey Bees

This past week we "harvested" the "first fruits" of our garden and checked in on the "queen" bees.
We collected several straight necked squash, one grape tomato, and several handfuls of green beans. I am so excited that our garden is starting to pay off! There is still a lot of work left to be done from now until the "harvesting" is done. The grass must be kept at bay, water the troops, and squish (or drown as my mother prefers) the enemy bugs!
The honey bees have been very busy! They had almost filled up the first big "super" we gave them so we put together the second ones for them. I got to paint them white and then decorate. It was so much fun! I hope they like the artwork on all four sides of their new home expansion.
