| Queen replacement bee |
I'm listening to Ray Bradbury's semi-autographical recollection of a small-town summer in 1928, Dandelion Wine. This quote is magical "...searching out the smell of the gold fuzzed bees that hung around our back-porch grape arbor. Bees do have a smell you know and if they don't, they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers."

| Placing the queen in the frames. The bees will eat through the candy nougat plug and release the queen. By then they will accept her because of the pheromones she releases. |

One of my favorite books! Bradbury could spin words as light and sweet as sugar spun into cottoncandy. xoxo Randi
