the bees are hard at work

i was fully expecting the bees to have started building comb and filling it with eggs and honey, but it still blows my mind that i put them into an empty box, basically, and 9 days later there are several bars with comb on them. it's a little sad how buying honey or eggs at the store divorces us from the process and from being involved in the miracle. i suppose it shouldn't blow my mind that chickens lay eggs, and bees make honey, but it does. it's so amazing.
