Honeybee Rescue: A Backyard Drama

2022

Beekeeper John Connery has a problem: a colony of honeybees has moved out of their backyard hive box and into his ramshackle garage. With a New England winter on the horizon, the bees aren’t likely to survive if they stay there. But how does one relocate 70,000 honeybees and their honeycomb? Enter Mr. Jon Nelson, bee rescuer. This is one backyard drama you don’t want to miss.
