None of Your Bees Wax!

It's the Gordon's.  Our great backyard friend the Gordon's got pets as well.  15,000 of them.  They got bee hives and it is fascinating.  The bees live in boxes in their back yard.  They can come in and out but the kids aren't afraid of them because they have learned that it takes a lot to make a honey bee angry enough to to sting you.  The bees live in the two box things you see and in one week had built enough honeycomb to cover about one sheet of paper.  It is really neat to see.  They have a queen that they had to eat through a marshmallow to free and after they have filled the bottom two boxes, which they will live off of during winter, they will start building in another box which the Gordon's will take their honey from.  A hive can produce about 5 gallons in a year.  That is incredible.  I hope they share!
