First, he brought out a bee box(cardboard). Then he scooped the bees up with the box. Then he let them settle down a bit. Then he closed the box and opened a little door on the bottom of the box. The bees inside stayed inside. The bees on the outside gradually found their way inside. Then he closed the box and took it away.
Our bees are bound for the Butterfly Pavilion. They will be part the the live bee exhibit: a hive inside with ports to the outside. The bees build their honeycomb inside and come and go as they please.
We'll have to go visit them this spring.
