Welcome - Explore my Blog

I've been keeping this blog for all of my beekeeping years and I am beginning my 19th year of beekeeping in April 2024. Now there are more than 1300 posts on this blog. Please use the search bar below to search the blog for other posts on a subject in which you are interested. You can also click on the "label" at the end of a post and all posts with that label will show up. At the very bottom of this page is a list of all the labels I've used.

Even if you find one post on the subject, I've posted a lot on basic beekeeping skills like installing bees, harvesting honey, inspecting the hive, etc. so be sure to search for more once you've found a topic of interest to you. And watch the useful videos and slide shows on the sidebar. All of them have captions. Please share posts of interest via Facebook, Pinterest, etc.

I began this blog to chronicle my beekeeping experiences. I have read lots of beekeeping books, but nothing takes the place of either hands-on experience with an experienced beekeeper or good pictures of the process. I want people to have a clearer picture of what to expect in their beekeeping so I post pictures and write about my beekeeping saga here.Master Beekeeper Enjoy with me as I learn and grow as a beekeeper.

No more Boredom in Beedom

We've had three rainy days in a row in Atlanta and the bees have been confined to their hives. I saw a few venturing out in the rain, but mostly it's been all quiet on the bee front. Today both hives are a-buzz with lots of activity. This picture doesn't begin to capture the energy of all the comings and goings.

I don't imagine that bees have emotions, but if they did, I'll bet it's very boring in the winter when they stay in the hive huddled together with only the job of keeping each other warm. I expect they "feel" some of that on rainy days as well. Posted by Picasa
