Look at me…I am in the “loft” in Mike’s shop…right up at the ceiling. If you look near my feet, you’ll see that I have white square things…they are components of our beehives.
On Wednesday or Thursday, our honeybees are arriving by the U.S. Postal Service. I love it that bees and chicks can arrive by mail. Gerald and I loaded his golf cart down with two hives to go set up my apiary. He’ll also have two hives in his apiary.
“Eat Sleep Go Fishing” …and raise honeybees!
Here’s my apiary. Only two hives in each apiary to start with this year. We’re not taking honey this year. We’re babying our bees. We’re going to treat them as our prized mean pets. In this picture, there are rocks under the lids to allow the hive to air out. Everything needs to be fresh and clean for the new bees.
They’ll be here soon!
I’ll call if they come in tomorrow.
