Day 25: Feeding more bees and cooking

Got up bright and early today to go and feed the bees at other apiaries. We first did the wild hive down the road up on a hill. They looked pretty good but Kwao was worried about ants getting to the sugar becuase the hive is on the ground. Next, we did two neighbors' hives. One was next door and had been knocked over by goats previously (after surviving the hurricane). Kwao told me that goats often do that if the hives are around them. Other predators include birds, lizards, and frogs that will sit and eat the bees. We have the same thing at home with Blue Jays. The next apiary was another across town that they have with 10 hives (half top-bar, half Langstroth). We did full inspections on all of them to make sure they had queens. All of them most likely did, whether we saw the queen or saw signs of her (eggs or emerged queen cells). We also picked mangoes on the way back! Tons and tons of mangoes...
 Everyone was really happy to get lots of mangoes:

 Yum!

 I made dinner today! Jessica wasn't here so Agape showed me how to make a few dishes. It gets really hot in the kitchen! We made tofu with ginger, turmeric, tomatoes, onion, and celery. We also added in snow peas after. We also made rice with pimento seeds and thyme for flavor. Everything is cooked in coconut oil.

 We also made a lime garlic sauce. We used 12 limes and 6 heads of garlic!
