I took up beekeeping as a hobby last year. It is a fascinating experience.
My hive this year is booming and will have to add in another deep and split my colony into two.
Fantastic!!! Keep up the great work!! :D
We lost our bees last year. Starting over. Have a friend in the bee keeping community that lost all but (I think) 5 hives. He had 31 before the winter kicked in.
We think the odd winter and moisture are the culprits of last years die off.
This year we moved all our hives to more concealed potions and elevated them higher.
