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.

Article on Urban Beekeeping in Organic Gardening

Last night I got an email from a friend of mine saying she had seen an article about me in Organic Gardening.  I was interviewed back in the spring and a photographer came and spent the morning at my house.  I knew it was coming out soon, but thought I'd get a copy when it hit the newstands.

The article is online at Organic Gardening magazine,  but there are only two photos from my hives in the online version.  My friend said in her email that she really liked the photo(s).  I decided today to go buy copies at the bookstore so I could see for myself.

I flipped through the magazine at the bookstore to the article and found lots of photos both from my bee yard in my backyard, and the beeyards of two other beekeepers, both men, one in Chicago and the other in Vancouver.  I was so excited, I bought several copies so I could give one to each of my children.

I brought my purchases indoors and opened the magazine's cover for the first time, instead of flipping through as I did before.  The second page held the table of contents and there I was, the background photo for the Table of Contents page!

























I'm honored that of all the women beekeepers in the country, Janet Davis, the author picked me for her article.

    Linda, I was so excited when I opened the current issue of Organic Gardening to see you on the Contents page and then the photos with the lead article! I recognized you immediately and loved the photos. Great for you and as a wonderful spokesperson for the bees!

    Hi Linda:

    I'm delighted you like the article. I could have written a book - it was difficult with such rich resources to keep it to 1000 words, especially now that I've been hooked by honey bees (no, not beekeeping, but I'm deep into a photo project). I'm sure the magazine will send a comp copy to you, but glad you found them at the newstand. Cheers Janet

    Hi Linda

    I went out and bought the copy because I just had to have it. It was a beautiful photo of you both on the table of contents and the inside article. Go glad you are getting the recognition you deserve.

    Sincerely
    Annette from Placerville California
