Somebody got stung on Monday when we were out inspecting the bees. The bee had crawled up her sleeve and found it a bit too claustrophobic and threatening, so she ended up with a sting. No big deal, that's what the pennies in my pocket are for. .
I've now experienced one warm season as a beekeeper and I'm heading into my second. My beautiful bees survived the winter, so now I can focus on helping them make honey for me!
Before buying my nucs, I spent about a year researching honeybees, took an intro info course, then took a more in-depth course where I could actually work with the bees. I wanted to make sure I wasn't too much of a spaz. Turns out I'm not too much of a spaz, and I'm really really enjoying myself! This blog is a way for me to keep track of how things go, and share my good times with anyone who's interested.
Thanks for stopping by! Leave me a note if you have a minute, I'd love to hear from you.
