Queen Esther - The Queen of Hearts!

Last night I had the pleasure of working with the Fussell family out at Eielson Airforce Base.  Their queen, Esther, has managed to rub off a portion of her red dot in the shape of a heart.  I'm going to try to post the picture here on the blog for all to see.  It has been beautiful working with Tom, Anna, Ethan and Seth over the past year.  They took a summer, hands-on, honeybee lab with me last season, then the spring class this year.  Since they are military, they couldn't purchase a hive so they asked if they could rent one.  They have been meticulous at caring for their colony.  It has been great seeing how they faithfully homeschool their boys. Thank you, Anna, for sharing these photos!
