Day 29: More bee bites, animals, and food

Went into the bees this morning. The queen rearing nuke had a colony that absconded suddenly. There were a few ants left in the hive, but it was still a mystery as to why they left. One colony was fine and the other was unfortunately queenless. The queen cell that we had given them never emerged and the larvae inside the cell was mummified. When feeding two other hives, we found a good frame of brood to give to the queenless hive in order to encourage them to make queen cells.
Here are some random pictures from the day.
A tiny frog:
Cocoa nut that I tried for the first time. The seed is sticky on the outside and bitter tasting:

I also had fish soup today! Jessica showed me how to make it. Basically, she boiled a few fish heads in water over the stove. Then, she added yam, potato, green onion, carrots, and herbs. It was delicious:

I also spent some time peeling beet roots today for beet root juice. Yummy when it is ice cold:
Another (bigger) frog:
