Journal
Notes from the apiary, from our first year of keeping bees.
First Harvest
Uncapping, spinning and bottling: our first small harvest.
Summer Update
Honey building, calm bees, and a glimpse of one of our queens.
Hive Security
Wasps get desperate as the year turns, so we built a different front door.
Three Hives Honey is born
A second swarm, a sheet on the grass, and how we ran out of hives.
Take two
Half the hive poured out of the door, just as I was leaving for lunch.
It all begins
Free bees, a very slow drive home, and one hive in the sun.
Follow the hives.
New entries land here as the year goes on. For photos and quick updates, follow along on Instagram or Facebook.
