What a beautiful garden! Looks like a magazine shot. And you have a nice bunch of hives too!

Thanks, momwithHope. The bees are one of the reasons I wanted to do the garden. They are all over it. We just finished removing the supers from the hives this past week. Supers are the boxes that stack up over the bottom brood boxes and where the bees put the honey we harvest. The sourwood trees are getting ready to bloom and we will put the empty supers back on in a couple of weeks, ready for the sourwood honey crop which is the premium honey in our mountains.
