We had to make food for the bees today. Kwao bought a big bag of sugar, as well as some small plastic bags. Kylie and I mixed equal parts sugar and water in a big tub to make the solution. Then, we poured individual feed bags for the bees. We had to do it at night so that the bees would not be all over us while we were doing it. We are feeding them becuase it is the dearth season. There is little food and a lot of the hives are still fairly new or do not have reserves since the last hurricane.
The buckets of feed bags:
Cody and Christie left today which was very sad. I will really miss their energy and company. I hope to stay in touch with all that they are doing! After they go home to Kentucky, their next stop is New Zealand. They had some really neat backpacks that served as luggage (very smart travelers).
Kylie and I also went to the beach to swim. After, we walked to another beach close by to collect some sea glass. Kylie leaves on Thursday so this was one of her last days to go to the beach.
I tried some mimosa seeds today. They were extremely bitter tasting. Some people liked them, but it made me queasy.
