Everything went well. Since they had only been in there 14 hours there wasn't a lot of comb so I wound up borrowing a friends...

I had a swarm today that I followed. They went to a church about 1/4 mile from my hives. There had been a feral colony in there several years before I started keeping bees that died out. They went...

My wife gets off earlier than I do and she has noticed ours around 4pm every day, so I walked out there yesterday, and sure enough there was a cloud of bees around the entrance. It amazes me how...

Very pretty... almost too pretty to sit out in the yard.

Yeah, I plan on going. It is only about 40 minutes from my house. I am excited it is so close this time.

I am a somewhat new beekeeper from the foothills of Western North Carolina. I have a little experience with bees from helping my grandfather with bees before he passed away. I recently found four...
