Bees!

So I have a new hobby. Actually we have a new hobby as I am hoping to entice my husband into helping me with this. I have been to several meetings and joined the local bee school and it is a lot more complicated than I expected. We picked up the hive this week. It arrived in kit form in about 500 pieces and kept Roger busy glueing and banging nails in our garage for two days, but we now have a fully assembled hive. The bees don't move in to their brand new home until mid April, which is just as well as we have 'Beekeeping for Dummies' to get through before they get here.
I will keep you posted on developments - watch this space!
