I was really bummed for a while because my e-mail was blocking the comment notification e-mails and I thought I wasn't getting any comments! My wife at one point talked about looking into keeping bees in our backyard. The research we did on how bees behave really helped in this situation even though we ended up not getting a hive. Ultimately with small kids it just seemed like too many bad things could happen (like knocking the hive to the ground by accident). However, our friendly little pollinators are still hanging out in our garden helping out! Thanks! it’s great to get comments as I get back into doing a bit of writing.

I live in East Texas and bees are pretty normal around here. I love the last sentence of your blog. "I’m glad we were able to let them live in peace and move away from the front door to a hopefully safer location for all involved". Have a great week! How interesting.
