A friend began keeping bees and encouraged us to start our own hive. So, April of 2012 we got our first package. That hive swarmed in june and we started a second hive with that swarm. So far, so good! We are enjoying the experience and the connection to other beekeepers in our local beekeeper association. We are also keeping mason bee colonies and finding many wild bees and other wild pollinators. It is a great learning experience and a chance to educate the neighborhood kids who were fascinated to watch our last swarm.<br /><br />MargieBee-Curioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17817498407342776589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712110501673732079.post-64047068729100003362011-06-21T05:52:45.536-05:002011-06-21T05:52:45.536-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223686028173294939noreply@blogger.com
