Bees and Honey
But I don't know much about bees and beekeeping so I have joined the local bee association and am now taking classes. It's a very interesting thing and I am learning a lot. I will keep you updated on the things I learn about beekeeping so check back again. This time of year (february) is typically the time that beekeepers order the queen bee starter kits. This way they can have it delivered in March and start their hives going. I have not yet ordered my queen starter because I don't know enough about the whole process. I may end up helping somebody else with their hive this year and then start my own hive next year. |
