Guess who is getting honey bees this spring?
Ignore the funny slant of the hive- we still need to level ground and put some more bricks in place as a base. Once spring is here the flowers will start coming up all around the hive to give the bees plenty to eat!

Awesome! We are getting bees too – I’m nervous about it though. What strand of bees are you getting? How many hives?
We just have the one hive. My parents gave us the hive itself for Christmas but we still have to order the bees. We are going to talk to a “bee guy” this week to place our order.
Stephen has settled on Russian bees – they are supposed to be mite resistant. I would prefer he stick to Italian bees – they are supposed to be the most gentle. I am personally terrified of bees….so I just prefer for them to be far away from the house!
Looking forward to hearing about your hive once you get it up and going!
