Bees Knees

My sister and my dad found the swarm of bees from Grey Lynn School and caught them.
At first they looked like a nest but they were all of them squashed together.
It was very freaky.
My dad found one of my old lego boxes and got one of his old boxes and put my lid on top. Then he brushed the bees into the box and took them home and put them next to my other bee hive.
In order to get the honey, my dad needs to use his bee smoker. Once my dad got stung from using it.
It took about 20 minutes to catch the bees.
It took more than 24 hours to make a bit of honey.
They make the honeycomb in their hive.
The honeycomb is made out of bees wax.
