become a beekeeper

Emptying the package into the hive when they arrived :) This was so exciting!

Me checking frames when I first got my bees!

This is a piece of burr comb that I had to pull out when I placed the 10th frame that I had to leave out when I installed the bees :)

I’ll take the bee course this coming Spring.
buying the equipment over the Winter, but selecting the site this Fall (to allow for some Sun, some shade, out of the way, etc)

and collect my own honey!

I started a hive with my brother in law and with the help of Corwin and Karen from BackYardHive.com. Great fun, but now I’m letting my bro in law take the reins because I have moved.

I look like a dork…but I LOVE my beekeeping hat and veil!

Me and my cat Murphy right after I hived my bees :) It was so exciting. I’m so excited about it!

I got my bees in this week and hived them yesterday! It was so exciting! I’m really looking forward to this and will post pics once I get them onto the computer :) YAY!!!

going to finish a few moinor projects before bees… so one more year I guess !
