Bees, Take 3
It turns out that keeping bees is not as easy as keeping rabbits! (Yes, we keep rabbits, too). Here's a picture of our latest ladies -- Italians, in two hives. This is our third year of beekeeping. Year 1 went very well with one hive of Italian bees and 14 1 pound jars of honey as a result. Year 2, a bad year for many beekeepers, was abysmal for us. No honey for us, and not enough to keep the bees alive through the winter.
So, on to year 3! We'll keep updating the blog regarding our progress through the year.
