Project Honey Bee Update

Project Honey Bee Update:  The Honey Bees have arrived and were placed in the hive on Monday, June 3^rd at 6:30PM.  Abby Gordon and her father Rod received on the job training on handling the bees and placing them in the hive by their friend Pat Sexton who is a bee keeper.  The 7,500 bees and the Queen Bee were placed in the hive and will spend the first week acclimating themselves to the hive, the Queen Bee and their new environment at Tanadoona.  Pictured here is Abby (left) and Pat placing the bees into the hive.  Notice that Pat isn’t wearing protective gear and no one got stung!  The Sun Newspaper did a front page article on Project Honey Bee on Thursday, June 6^th where Abby’s efforts are highly praised and the Excelsior Rotary Club and Camp Tanadoona got some good PR!
