As some of you know I am a package bee distributor here in New England. Last week was Bee Week for me and I thought I would share some of the pictures I took. I really didn't take many as I am so busy I forget to get out the camera.
The first picture is a bee trucks worst nightmare; a traffic jam. The packages are so tightly packed on the trailer that they can suffocate if you are held up in traffic. I carry several fans with me and a generator and in case of delays I start the fans to keep air flowing over the bees.
The second picture is the holding area for the packages at Gardner Apiaries in Baxley GA. The packages in the picture are all waiting to go on my trailer. There are some more behind me, the total load was 485 3 lb packages.
