Finished "Top-Bar" hive. It looks amazing!



4 pounds of Carniolan Bees, that's roughly 10,000 bees!



Our new Beekeeper. Jeremy has been researching a lot about bees.  He "You Tubed" videos on the
different hives. Checked out books at the library. Read the  How-To's and the What-To's on how to make it the hive and also how to care about the bee's.
It's been amazing how he has learned so much about all of it.
He has even talked with some of our neighbors who raise bees.



In this picture he his holding the box that is holding the Queen Bee.  In one end there is a candy plug that the
other bees have to eat through in order to get her out.  It's their way of claiming her as their Queen.
