Bees

My husband and daughter wanted to put beehives in the backyard, not my favorite idea. Last year they were pretty much trying to take care of the hive, get the queen settled and building up the boxes. This year they have become protective of the hive. I have been stung twice, my husband twice and now poor Kai has been stung at least twice. Two times in the last two days. My husband put the bees in her barking spot at the fence. HE will be moving it soon to the other side of the yard, where he put the second hive, newly established so they are not aggressive yet. But, the bees now consider this their place, so every time Kai goes up their they chase her. I am hoping that she learns soon not to go near the hives. I may have to place a small gate when my husband moves the hive, so Kai cannot get too close, she will not stand a chance with two hives together and barking at her usual spots. Too many bees.
