cool pictures. are the corrugated pieces between the hives to direct the flight of the bees, or is that just a convenient place to put extra pieces?
I noticed Senor Manuel does not wear a bee suit yet the tourista appears to be in one.
Does Senor Manuel get stung a lot? It appears to me that he knows how to handle his AHB hives.

Kathyp,
I assume just a good place to keep them...
Understudy,
During this vist and the last one I did not see him get stung. My brother inlaw got stung again (last year too). He had to run out of there, with a few chasing him.....
