Woke up this morning with a nose that could not be more plugged.  Not like I was going to let it get me down though, I have bees to take care of today!  

Got to see this tree frog in the morning as well!

Mic the beekeeper took me to the farmland where he keeps the empty boxes and tools that he needs for the job.  

Then we headed of the take care of a swarm that he had seen a couple of days ago.  It was absolutely incredible to see a colony swarm like that!  We cut it off the branch and shook them into the new hives.

There were two swarms!

Some of the hives.

Off to the next site where we had to open nukes; four or five frame hives for smaller colonies.  Four of them were so full with honey and brood that we had to put them into bigger boxes.  I got my fair share of honeycomb that I ate fairly quickly.  It was so awesome because Mic let me do one of the boxes myself! 

My very fresh honey.

Mic... that's his actual smile.

On our way back to the sanctuary he took me to Vivon Bay, I was overly pleased to be by the ocean again.  It felt so nice to look out onto the ocean.

As soon as we got back to the sanctuary around 1:30 my nose decided to become so stuffed I can’t even breathe out of it.  Not sure if I should do the night tour tonight but I will defiantly do my best to get better fast!

Michaela the new volunteer arrives tomorrow; she is from America and will be staying a month.  Tomorrow Nina and I will also be going to Kingscote with Cat and then we will hopefully go to the beach or to Kelly Caves!  It will be a fun day and hopefully I will recover by then… if I don’t I’ll make myself!
