Building Our Own Beekeeping Equipment

Here is the plan.  After beginning our parts review... we believe we can build, at least part of our own equipment.  BeeSource has lots of instructions and we've begun to review our plans.  More on all of this, soon!

Honey Bees...!

Certainly the most raised insect (... other than maybe fruit flies), is the honey bee.  Among the amazing things in my life would have to be the fact that although I've helped others with honey bee raising activities, I've actually not raised honey bees myself.  My intention is to make that change in 2012.  A friend of mine & I intend to set up our own hives, so we'll have info on this quest to share with you along the way.   Meanwhile, if you are interested in knowing more about why one should be interested in bees, check out info on Marla Spivak, a Minnesota bee researcher and MacArthur "Genius" who was on Public Radio recently.  More on the quest to raise bees, soon!
