FYI: Some of my feral bees (swarms, cutouts) can be a little ornery.
So I put up some "feral bee" signs on them to remind myself to be a
little gentler.... (I have a mix of feral local bees, queens from
local breeders and a package or two in my yard)

Here are the signs in case anybody else wants to print some out. I
laminated them with the DIY lamination from target.

Also, here's my current bee watering solution:

A $3 chicken waterer with a 1 gallon mason jar on top. I put some
rocks in the tray so the bees wouldn't drown. I imagine Randall might
put a ping pong ball in there so it's easier to tell the water level
from far away if we were doing this....
