I'm in Northern California and it usually rains quite a bit here in the winter, but we've had 84 degree whether in January. And it was hot for about 2 weeks. Everything started budding, like it was spring. It finally rained last week! And we had frost :( We have rain barrels and I put buckets...

I keep the hive. A co-worker of mine wished he would have known about him because he spent over $400 on a hive and over $100 for bees and queen. He's taking classes, but mentioned it would be nice to have an experienced beekeeper with you throughout the seasons. Granted, he may have bought a...

I'm in Northern California...about 60 miles north of San Francisco. He maintains many hives all over the area. He gives a discount if you're 20 miles from where he's already maintaining a hive.

Thanks so much! I'm addicted to these sights ans now need to get in the shower and rush to work. :ep

I would love to be a bee keeper. We went to a scion exchange for rare fruit growers this past Saturday. They had supplies for bee keeping for sale and you can order bees. We're just getting into chickens so my boyfriend wants me to wait until next year for bees (I think he's hoping I'll forget...

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll do that too! I can just put the produce in my canvas bags and then unload them at the counter. They can just go right back into the canvas.

I wash them and hang them on an empty wine bottle. I wish I could get away from using them in the produce section. Any ideas?
