Phillip the Bee Keeper

My bee keeping suit arrived today along with most of the gear I need to start up my first honey bee hive. This is a photo of me in my suit:

I won’t know until the end of June if I can get some bees to start a colony, but I’m ready for them whenever they do arrive.

Further updates on my bee keeping adventures will appear at Mud Songs — starting sometime in June, I hope.

    What’s the next step? The bee houses?

  4. Phillip says:

    Yeah, I have to assemble the hives now. But first I’m going to trace the pieces so I can cut my own make second hive my self and save some cash. Buying all the pre-cut materials and having them sent to Newfoundland isn’t cheap. I’ll probably build the hives this weekend.
