A New Adventure

We are trying something new here on the farm. To give you a bit of background on the events that lead us to where we are now . . . One of my egg customers is a beekeeper and we have been swapping honey for eggs. Great deal for me since I eat honey in my oatmeal every morning and I bake with it alot!

The other day, Al (the beekeeper) was talking with my husband and mentioned that he is always looking for new places to put his hives - light bulb!!!! Why not here? If this turns out to be a good spot, maybe I can set up a hive or two of my own. Al said that he would show me all the "ins" and "outs" of beekeeping.

Our bees and a brooder box were delivered this morning. This is exciting! I will keep you all informed of my adventures as a beekeeper (fortunately, I am NOT allergic to bee stings!!!)
