The Bees Catch Butterflies

There have been swarms of butterflies flying around our hive this week.  They like to rest on the side of our hive and sun themselves. 
 
 
 Bumble thought it would be nice to catch one.  I remembered visiting the butterfly tent at the farm show and they told us that butterflies would drink Gatorade off of a q-tip.  I didn't have Gatorade available so I used water and put a little bit of sugar in it.  I gave a wet q-tip to Bumble and off she went. 
 

Bumble loves butterflies...


and butterflies love Bumble!


When Honey got home from work Bumble wanted to show him what she had been doing all day.  Honey tried it and caught one with the q-tip...


and with his head too!


Good job, Bumble and Honey!
