This is my first attempt with bees. The girls love working on this with me, and they have become my hive inspection photographers.
I started out with a couple hive kits and we built them and painted.
I made a tool box out of some scraps I had around.

Welcome, always good to participate with the kids.

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.

I got two nucs and put them in the new boxes and marked the queens so I can pick them out.

Both hives have feeders on them to help get established. After about two weeks I added a new medium to one hive. That queen is booming.

Beautiful ladies, OH!, and nice bees, too.
Lounge chair is too far away. Should be the 6 feet social distance.
Welcome, good beginning posts. Hope to see many more.

I made a tool to help get the eyelets in the frames. It is just a wooden drawer pull, roll pin and a nail.
