Bee Happy

Taking up beekeeping again. It has been 20 years since I last kept bees. They were actually pretty nasty and I lost them the year that most of Ohio had a severe issue with mites.

The bees I ordered earlier this month were safely installed their new home this morningwith minimal loss. I did not get stung.  There are about 12,000 bees in this 3 lb package. They were very docile this morning because of the cool weather.  Have to admit that it was the cute little mini carved hive that I thought would look perfect in our little backyard park that got me interested in beekeeping again.
