Hello World-dreamers!
Before we went to meet with the girls Yorke and Hans went to see the beehives. The hives were somewhere in the forest on a walking distance from Ekrawfo. Once arrived we noticed that some hives have dropped and were distroyed by the weather. In 2 hives there is honey but unluckily we didn't have a smoker! So we couldn't harvest any honey yet.
When a lot of smoke comes into a bee hive, the bees start to eat the honey (as an emergency response to make sure they can survive if the nest would be destroyed). As they eat the honey, their body swells up and they cannot bend it anymore. When they can´t bend their body, they can`t sting.
At 10 o clock we met with the girls but only a few showed up as most of them were working on the farm. We decided to postpone the program on a day which suits better. Around noon we took a trotro home!
