Bee success!

2011 brought many "firsts" for the Mitchell family...

Kyler was able to harvest his first batch of honey from his very own bees.

Look at the mass of bees on the outside of the hive (toward the bottom).

Mmmm...honey.

The finished product.

It wasn't a huge batch of honey, but it was yummy.  The bees have definitely been quite the learning experience for Kyler (and Layne).  We are all hoping for continued "bee success" in 2012!  :)
