Went thru 2 hives this morning.

I'm very pleased. From 2 hive I got 2 full mediums and 2 full shallows. Best I have seen here in East Tn. First of May, we still have a strong flow going on. Very thankful for our blessings.
 To make it better my 10 year old Grandson was very excited to help.

I always enjoy the post when the kids are included.  Great to spend time with the kids, teaching the next generation of beekeepers.

I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.

Yes, this young man needs a suit. He was is a veil and gloves. Nobody got stung. Seeing that big smile on his face as I pulled framess and brushed bees was priceless. We had a great day, this camping out in a tent thing... Tells me I'm  getting old.

In our kindergarten (understood, yes?) we started a bees-project. built a hive on friday with the kids, gonna bring in the bees soon. gonna get a couple jackets with veil and gloves so we get the kids closer to bees and nature in general.
