Since our place is too small for cows, we figured we would raise bees. They are hard to milk and the meat is a little tough but man do they have some good vomit!!!!!
As you can tell from that little bit of sillines, yesterday was BEE DAY at the nest. It was a blast. Whitney was there and we just had a marvelous time. Spent the morning finishing the bee yard and making sugar syrup to feed them. Then we went to visit HomeSweetFarm (http://www.homesweetfarm.blogspot.com/). This CSA farm is very close to our house and we look forward to getting to know them better. After that we were off to R. Weaver Apiary (http://www.rweaver.com/) in Navasota, Texas. We were so excited to got our bees. We had so much fun hiving them and then just watching them. They were so calm. None of us suited up. Sally wore the veil and gloves, I wore gloves and Whitney wore no protective gear. We were working in a swarm and no one got stung. Seems the girls are very tame and apparently like us very much.
