April 5, 2019: The Arrival of three new colonies.
Today is a big day for us. We went to D&J Apiary this morning and picked up our three nucs to put in are three new hives.
Later we placed them in their new homes.
March 31,2019: Inspection to see how the bees are
We thought we would take a look at the bees to see how they are doing and to determine whether to add on an additional super or not. We felt this would be a good time to do so since next weekend we will have three new colonies.

March 30, 2019: Adding more pollinator plants
Not only are we beekeepers, we are pollinator contributors. We already have a lot of pollinator plants in our yard, but wanted even more. You will not ever keep your bees in your yard, but helping them and other pollinators help save all bees.
March 2, 2019: Six hives are complete
We will be using two of the hives for now and put the other four inside for later use this year or early next year.
