BEES!!!!! (are cool!) Bee Stewarding update

We're actually right in the middle of the bee-keeping workshop right now. I sneaked away at lunch to post this real quick. More to come later. We spent the morning looking into the hive. Instructor Cailen Campbell is really in tune with the bees and is teaching us a lot about the various methods of keeping and managing bees: "traditional-modern" and his approach, "new paradigm" bee-stewarding. We passed the frames around to see the inner workings of the hives up close. No bees got squished, no one got stung, we made minimal disturbances for the bees. Gotta get back to class now!
