Have fun. Have all your stuff together before hand. Bees are trick critters & WILL try to spoil your work. I smoke DURING the act for this reason. LOL
Good luck!

bees got in as I turned around to grab my tie...... I'm not upset about this at all, I look at it like this, this is my trial and error year, and If I didn't do a good job pollinating, I hope that they did!!! LOL!
