Be sure to see the list of hopefully useful videos and slide shows on the sidebar. All of them have captions and can be watched full screen.

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. Along the way, I've passed a number of certification levels and am now a Master Beekeeper! Enjoy with me as I learn and grow as a beekeeper.

New box on the nuc

My little "tree" hive is growing. I added another medium nuc box to this hive. I replenished their food and hope the queen is doing well. I haven't really looked into the box - just saw eggs on one frame and closed it up. But I have my fingeres crossed.

At this time of year, this is the only way to use a Boardman feeder. Inside the hive like this, it doesn't encourage robbing. Attached to the front of the hive, it does.





Hannah doesn't seem intimidated by these bees!

  1. The pictures are excellent, and should really help novice beekeepers who may be struggling with the supplies needed, etc. I too believe that getting advice from a master beekeeper is essential to learning about beekeeping. So this site is a real help to “newbees”.
