Kwao and I moved the hive that we had earlier put into a short hive. We waited until it was dark and headed over to the property to pick up the bees. We smoked the entrance and waited a few moments before moving the hive. Helpful hint: Don't shine a flashlight on the hive for too long! They find it very irritating. We placed the hive onto an old sheet and wrapped it all up. The hive went into the back of the car (with me holding it) and we drove it to the other property. This is the same place that we had already set up hive stands so all we had to do was put the hive on top and take the sheet off. Kwao placed a branch in front of the hive to let them know that "something is different" when they fly out of the hive the next day. They will take a few extra minutes to reorient themselves.
We will head out tomorrow morning at 8 so that I can catch my flight at noon. I will miss this place so much!
Last dinner was SO amazing. We had sweet and sour eggplant, bammy and "hummus", salad, and ackee. Some of my favorite dished, Yum!
