The San Mateo County Fair went really well! Fellow beekeeper Brigitte organized the booth for the

The hive fits 10 frames, and has an entrance so that the bees can still forage during the day (there is a tube that goes from the bottom corner of the hive, through the wall, to the outside). Here is a group of fair goers (and myself) looking for the queen bee:
