The HCC Hive

 
I officially learned what the term, 'busy bee' really means!  There are thousands of worker bees inside our hives making honey and building honey comb-nonstop!  I have become fascinated by the hive.  It's all about the queen; that's what keeps all the workers around.  If you move the queen, the rest will follow.  Nature is an amazing thing!
 
Eventually another queen will hatch, creating a swarm.  This is when part of the hive leaves to be with the new queen, creating another hive.
