Noah’s New Friend; Beehive

Noah immediately made a new friend in our new neighborhood who lives next door. His name is C.J., and the two have immediately hit it off and spend nearly every evening playing together.

Tamara caught them racing their bikes, which are exactly the same, down the sidewalk. Of course, Shelby being the entertainer that she is, fills in the commentary of the action.

At the end of the clip, Tamara zooms in on a beehive we had formed on a bush in the front of our house. It was the size of a pineapple, and we later found out it was actually just a huge mass of honey bees.  It wasn’t there when we moved into the house a couple of weeks ago.

We found a local beekeeper who was going to meet us at the home to take them away for free. I came home to meet them and when I went to look at the hive, it was gone. The only trace of them were a few lost looking bees flying around. I thought maybe the beekeeper had came before I got there and saw the hive and took it away, but he came a short time later. They said when bees are starting out a new hive, they sometimes leave suddenly to go somewhere else. We thought it was funny that they left the day we called someone to get them after they had been there for at least a week.

It's nice Noah has such a good friend living right next door. Looks like they have a lot of fun riding their bikes. Shelby is quite the narrator!! That is an interesting story about the beehive. Odd that they just picked up and left! But I'm sure that made you happy..
