Rick and I attended the bee keeping classes we have been thinking about for so long. We are determined to keep bees, but we won’t be moving on that goal until next spring. We don’t want to rush. I would like to purchase some of the gear (the smoker in particular) this year, but it’s not imperative.
I’ll set this aside in the “I give up” list in order to free up more room here.
Getting close to done.
