We did a thing...

 Just like the garden, we have been wanting and talking about having bees for a very long time.  We want the honey AND the AG exemption for our property.  Property tax keeps going up every year and the government keeps trying to rob us!  We have been gearing up for the bee stuff the past few weeks.  So last weekend we had it all set up!  Finally!  It's so exciting!  



We will start out with about 6 hives

So we want the honey but we don't want the work.  And we happened to have friends who are recently getting into the bee business.  We made some kind of arrangements with them so without going into all the boring details the basic idea is that we buy the bees and equipment to start it up and keep them at our place and they will take care of everything else for us.   

After the bee hives were set up Hubby also put up
fencing around the bee hives to keep the cows
from messing with our bees. 
In the process the hubby got stung many many times
by the bees.  Poor hubby!  But he got it done!






Look at our new "babees"!  They're doing really great
adapting to their new environment
