May 17, 2018: Adding our first bee nucleus
Jill picked up our Bee Nuc. A Nuc is a starter colony consisting of 4-5 frames of bees, brood and honey in a cardboard box. Each frame is added to the new hive, with additional empty frames to create the new colony.

May 6, 2018: First Hive
On May 6th, 2018 we got our first hive. It was a FlowHive and little did we know that was not the right choice for us. From what I know now, the only thing I can say is that getting this hive got us totally interested in beekeeping.
