This Makes Me Happy


Nothing extraordinary, just a shot of our apiary.  The hive on the left is from last season and has had some issues, but seems to be doing all right now.  The two on the right are also from last season, and, as you can see, they are booming.

The remaining three, in the middle, are swarms we brought in a couple of weeks ago.  Ruth just did an inspection and reports that they are coming along nicely.  We also have another hive with its own story.  I'll pass that along when I have a picture to go with it.

In the meantime, these hives bring us closer to one of our goals in beekeeping - having enough beeswax harvested from our own hives to use in all of our beeswax-based products.  It's a fun journey.
