Home Security

Some photos of our home security systems. On one side of our house is my hubby's bee hives so only a really fool would want to tangle with the "girls" in their home turf. The very large weed in front of the hive was left growing because the bees like that type of flower. The whole fence was lined with them last month before everything else started to bloom. My raised garden beds, until the plants have grown to fill in the space, are in "lock down" from my fur babies or any other visiting cats. In a few months all the metal will be removed. Bees do need a source of water so we have a pail out for them. They don't swim too well and need their own little floaties (wine corks) as they get drink. Yesterday hubby went out to work on a new swarm he put into a foster hive (this hive will be going to a new home as soon as we are sure there is a queen inside) and decided not to wear any protective gear. The girls got mad and tagged team him three times in the face. Very close to his eyes, so now this morning he looks like an alien lizard or a poster boy for why it's important to wear your bee hat and veil. Can't get a picture of him - he doesn't want any proof he doesn't practice safe bee keeping. ;)
