We stopped next to this family who had bees. This fellow was carving the wax out of each hole on this stick so that bees would lay new larvae. (Near Huanghua) With tweezers, this woman was plucking bee larvae out and putting them into a cup The bee boxes The plucking in action The bee larvae...all I could figure out is that they were for food The three new amigos...Hans, Frank, and Bill. We met them at a "look at the map" stop Hans, Julie, Frank, Tad, Bill, and Sue. I had mentioned earlier in the hot sun how we needed someone to pull up in a 4x4 with Gator Aid. They pulled up in a 4x4 and left us with salad, fruit, ham, eggs, bread, cheese, orange juice, and very grateful hearts. Thanks friends! Frank heads along a smooth, tree-lined road, great for riding! We get to Huanhuangcheng before dark and I got to snap this picture of the "wild" wall This is the view across the valley. You can see the path taken by hikers up the original wall
