It's time to expand. Here is a load of boards, soon to be made into 11 top bar hives this weekend. Taking a Unimog and a military trailer to pick up a few boards is like using a hammer on a thumb tack, like using a stock pot to cook a few grains of rice, like using a snow shovel to play in a kids sand pit! You get the idea.
Last year I ordered a random variation of bee locally from For the Love of Bees but they were so back ordered that I decided to get a few packages of Russians from Honey Bee Genetics from California and a cross between a Minnesota Hygienic and Italians from Papa Bear's Honey from Utah via Edgewood. I'm excited about the mix of types although really I would love to get my hands on a hardy wild swarm.
11 hives! awesome!
