Potty Time With Queen Bee

I’ll preface this post by saying Jacob’s response to it was “people are going to think we are weird, Abby.”  Um….too late.

Admittedly, this is weird.  And I had a hard time getting decent pictures due to so much movement, but I couldn’t resist posting.

We came home late one evening and Josiah was doing his nightly potty time when Jacob noticed that one of the queen cells emerged (a queen bee hatched).  He had a few cells in the house that he had left over from splitting some hives.  Jacob wanted to show it to Josiah, but since it was already late he decided to do it during potty time.  That explains the timing.  Also, before you get nervous about what dangers we expose our kids to, you should know that queens don’t sting and we explained to Josiah that most other bees will sting, so be careful.

Yes, we have some interesting times in our home!
