My Bees Are Here!!!

[kimlove2]

My bees came today! Now I'll be able to have fresh honey without having to pay those outragious prices! not to mention having bee's wax for candles! 'Course it'll take a while, since I only had enough money for one nuc. But it's a start! )

Wow!

I just asked DH if he could handle bees here. He sure had to think about it for a bit before the lure of honey got the better of him and he said okay.

How did you get started? Is there a bee keeping 101 course somewhere?

Congratulations! We just got our hive in the mail- our nuc is scheduled for early June. I can't wait! I put the whole hive together and just left it in the entry room so I could look at it!

Here, the person I am buying the nuc from actually runs 4 (seasonal) classes for new beekeepers. And, he is the bee inspector for New Hampshire, so I figure he knows what he is doing (aside from the decades of experience!). I can't wait!
