The bees are coming!

Scheduled to arrive May 2nd or 3rd from Walter T. Kelley's Bees. I was afraid that I had waited too long this season to be able to establish a colony but Jane, who took my order, reassured me that May is a fine time to hive bees in the northern Shenandoah, although I shouldn't expect to harvest much beyond a single frame of honey from them this year, "Autumn honey's good but Spring honey's really the best!"
