Welcome to my beekeeping blog.

I am a beekeeping hobbyist, learning as I go.

I have been keeping bees for about four years and have harvested honey and wax.

In the future I plan to expand my experience by havesting propolis and honey comb, rearing queens, and capturing swarms.  I have processed my wax into lip balm, but would like to expand on this by experimenting with other balms and ointments.  The propolis would be used for homemade cough drops.

I had two hives going into the fall of last year, but lost one over winter.  I have ordered a nuc (a nucleus hive) to start another hive this spring.

This blog will be a journal of my beekeeping experience.  I intend to bring my camera with me a lot this year to make this a visual record of my beekeeping.

I can't wait to begin.  Thanks for joining me.
