Getting Ready for Bees
Today we got our beekeeping equipment, all ready for the bees which will arrive in about a month.
We’re starting out with two hives; if one begins to fail, we might be able to rescue it with frames from the other. The Schweitzers of Redwood City are going in on it all with us.
I’m reading The Backyard Beekeeper: An Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Keeping Bees in Your Yard and Garden, which seems like a great resource. And I’ve been finding other local resources and posting them on Permie.net.
I’ve been trying to get some seedlings of good pollen sources started. And I have some plants to get planted…right now!
