Ligia called this morning, inviting us to come and watch them extract honey from their 200 bee hives. This was too good to miss, so we made a few calls to rearrange our plans and headed out to the village of Colibi! The whole process of how a colony of bees reproduces and works together to produce honey, shows the wisdom of our Creator. Above: One of the neighbor ladies who helped gave us a good laugh as she posed for a picture by licking honey from one of the many frames!

Cornel's brother and a neighbor man, taking the frames from the hives, while bees buzz all around them.
Daryl, taking a turn at cranking the extractor. Cornel's brother showed us male bees, female bees and the queens.
The whole "Honey Crew!" Cornel and Ligia, brother George and his wife, two neighbor ladies and a neighbor man. A very interesting day! We also enjoyed a barbeque when the work was done.
