Hives on the move.

Kirk greets his newest friends.

The Backwards Beekeepers traveled south to remove two hives from the inside of a fence in Torrance yesterday. Have you ever had 20,000 confused, pissed-off bees flying around your head, other than during your last acid flashback? It's pretty great.

Now those fence bees have a more socially acceptable home in hive boxes, and they can do their thing without some neighbor blasting them with a water hose. Torrance has a new honey supply.

Kirk Anderson is our Yoda of the bee world, and his enthusiasm is contagious.
