Gimeritos

Today, Edgar transferred some Gimerito bees into a new home. They had been living in a gallon plastic jug and, hopefully, will appreciate their new digs. I was waiting a beekeeper to move the hives but Edgar said he knew how ... and he did!! In just a few minutes we had them transferred. He is off to the house where he and his mother will transfer the second hive. It was so exciting to find out that Edgar knew how to do this and was happy to give it a whirl.
 
Opening the jug - Obviously they are a hardy insect

Hanging the hive - they do well near/by a house

Our next housing project got a boost yesterday as we acquired the maps of the land last night. The official documents are a couple weeks away but ... first step that is concrete. Hurrah. It has been a lot work and not without difficulties.

Not much else for news other than that. Enjoy the pictures.
